[Gluster-users] problem with oVirt as GUI to manage

[Joe Julian]

oVirt on CentOS: http://wiki.dreyou.org/dokuwiki/doku.php/ovirt_rpm_start

Gluster storage is very easily managed from a command line utility. The 
majority of sysadmins I speak with wouldn't use a pretty gui anyway so I 
suspect the dev team just lost as much interest as the community did.

 From my own perspective, as a volunteer in the irc channel that offers 
support over my nearly every waking hour, I've never seen the quality of 
support questions drop more than when people started discovering the 
gmc. Keeping good people around when the questions are annoying is 
problematic at best.

There has been some interest, however, in having a pretty gui. NuxRo 
(www.nux.ro) from the IRC channel has contacted Jamie Cameron from the 
Webmin project about adding support there. You might try following up 
with them.
