[Gluster-users] A problem with gluster 3.3.0 and Sun Grid Engine

[Manhong Dai]

Hi Avati,


	Thanks a lot for your help! It is good to know that 3.2.x doesn't have
this problem. So the worst scenario for me is to re-install it with the
latest 3.2.*. I hope my life won't be that miserable.


Best,
Manhong
