[Gluster-users] Status on Gluster on OS X (10.9)

[Dennis Schafroth]

There is at least two open issue for real usage for clients on OS X.

Every setxattr fails on a Linux with ext4 filesystem, because Linux attr  (extended attributes) implements namespaces. I haven’t gotten around testing on XFS, but I would assume it also happens. It should be an easy fix in the mac-compat feature.

Secondly more serious, glusterfs mounts exits (after some time with a ENODEV, and fuse reporting “No answer from Userspace”) when I try to run simple bash scripts (trying to get a resource fork ?) located on an Linux ext4 gluster brick. It could be related to the above issue. I am not sure yet.

Still, I would like get feed back from brave ones on compiling and mounting a test server (use glusterfs -L debug / mount -o log-level=DEBUG to get client debug)  

cheers,

Since my initial “success” we have been able to get it  to compile with clang (almost as clean as with gcc) and actually run. The later was a bit tricky because clang has more strict strategy about exporting functions with inline, which ended with many runs with missing functions.
