[Gluster-users] [Gluster-infra] Which version of GlusterFS do you recommend?

[Vince Loschiavo]

I do a basic series of tests after upgrade including:

This process takes about a day or so to burn in.

-bonnie++
-failover, shutdown of bricks
-self-heal after simulated brick failure
-Test VMs - similar to those running in production - run unit tests against
those VMs
-bonnie++ inside VMs and compare results to previous run.

I'm open to suggestions on other tests though.
