Gluster users - Jun 2013 - Rev Your (RDMA) Engines for the RDMA GlusterFest

It's that time again ? we want to test the GlusterFS 3.4 beta before
we unleash it on the world. Like our last test fest, we want you to
put the latest GlusterFS beta through real-world usage scenarios that
will show you how it compares to previous releases. Unlike the last
time, we want to focus this round of testing on Infiniband and RDMA
hardware.

For a description of how to do this, see the GlusterFest page on the
community wiki:

http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/GlusterFest

Run the tests, report the results, and report any bugs you found as a result.


As an added bonus, use this mailing list as another outlet for your
testing. After reporting the results on the GlusterFest page, report
them here, too, and other users can confirm ? or counter ? your
results.

Find a new bug that is confirmed by the Gluster QE team, and I'll send
you a free t-shirt (see image below).

Testing starts in a matter of minutes ? 00:00 UTC on Friday, June 21
(that's 5pm PT/8pm ET today) ? and wraps up 24 hours later.

Happy testing,

JM

After sending this yesterday, I realized that some of you may not know
what the t-shirt in question looks like:

- http://community.redhat.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/gluster-shirt.png

Also, some of you voiced a desire to have more time to get RDMA tests
set up, so we'll extend the testing through monday - make it 00:00 UTC
on Tuesday, June 25.

Respond with a +1 if you would like that.

-JM
