[Gluster-users] Seeking Feedback on Gluster Development Priorities/Roadmap

[paul simpson]

hi ben,

it's good to be consulted!  my take on priorities would be:
0/ as per stephens email - basic syncing tools.  right now, i'm unsure (see
1) how often to do a "find sync" to "heal" the fs.  the baseline fs needs to
be more robust.  it feels very delicate and i often find myself needing to
restart a client/glusterd.
1/ documentation.  gluster looks great - but there's a lack of good solid
docs.  and lots of old legacy / conflicting documentation out there too.
 this is a barrier for new users (ie, me) to try it out.
2/ improved UI. by this, do you mean reporting/migration tools?  if so, yes.
3/ gNFS NLM locking

i'd concentrate on getting whats already there working better & faster than
adding new features.

looking forward to irc conference.

regards,

paul
