Hey Gandalf!

Let's see. There have been plenty of occasions where I've sat and worked on
users' issues on weekends.
And then again, I've got a life too outside of work (or at least I'm
supposed to), you know.
(And hey you know what! Today is Saturday and I'm sitting here and
responding to your mail and collecting information
on Mahdi's issue. Nobody asked me to look into it. I checked the mail and I
had a choice to ignore it and not look into it until Monday.)

Is there a genuine problem Mahdi is facing? Without a doubt!

Got a constructive feedback to give? Please do.
Do you want to give back to the community and help improve GlusterFS? There
are plenty of ways to do that.
One of them is testing out the releases and providing feedback. Sharding
wouldn't have worked today, if not for Lindsay's timely
and regular feedback in several 3.7.x releases.

But this kind of criticism doesn't help.

Also, spending time on users' issues is only one of the many
responsibilities we have as developers.
So what you see on mailing lists is just the tip of the iceberg.

I have personally tried several times to recreate the add-brick bug on 3
machines I borrowed from Kaleb. I haven't had success in recreating it.
Reproducing VM-related bugs, in my experience, wasn't easy. I don't use
Proxmox. Lindsay and Kevin did. There are a myriad qemu options used when
launching vms. Different VM management projects (ovirt/Proxmox) use
different defaults for these options. There are too many variables to be
considered
when debugging or trying to simulate the users' test.

It's why I asked for Mahdi's help before 3.8.10 was out for feedback on the
fix:

Alright. That's all I had to say.

Happy weekend to you!
