Hello list, We have been using 3.2.6 the last few months and are reasonably happy with it. I am about to build a new file server (to replace the existing solution) and now have to decide to either stick with 3.2.6 (because we know it works) or upgrade to 3.3. Main use will be a few distributed, replicated volumes on two servers with maybe a dozen or so clients. Secondary use will be a distributed volume spread over all machines. What are people's experiences with 3.2.6 vs 3.3? Would you recommend 3.3 for operational use? Thanks, Frank Frank Sonntag Meteorologist, MetOcean Solutions Ltd PO Box 441, New Plymouth, New Zealand 4340 T: +64 7-825 0540 M: +64 21-0245 2275 f.sonntag .A.T. metocean.co.nz http://www.metocean.co.nz
I may not be the best person to answer this, However, out of my experience 3.3 has self healing so you don't have to to `ls -iR` in your file system to trigger it. Otherwise I guess there are some more bug fixes done in the new version.

Hi, I did all my testing with 3.2.6, but went into production with 3.3 (with minimal testing). I'm happy with it.

Would you recommend 3.3 for operational use?I am not in production with glusterfs (just testing with two servers), but I found both read and write performance in 3.3.0 to be massively better than with 3.2.6 (using CentOS 5.8).
