In case anyone cares, I did this upgrade yesterday. I unmounted the clients,
stopped the volume, and stopped the gluster-server service. Then apt-get
install the new packages and restart everything.
Everything came back up and is working fine. It even appears to have fixed the
memory leak that developed after the last round of debian wheezy updates.

Subject: [Gluster-users] Upgrading Gluster 3.5.3 to 3.5.7
Greetings!
I have inherited a Debian Wheezy system running Gluster 3.5.3 .
The sysadmin who was responsible for it, has since moved on and left no
documentation. Can I safely do an apt-get upgrade and upgrade to the latest
3.5.7 for Debian without any special steps ? I know that I need to shut down
the clients and the server, then upgrade the clients and the server, and then
restart all of them.
The reason that I'm looking at doing the upgrade is that recently, (after a
reboot) we're seeing the system running out of memory and paging space
within 48 hours of a reboot. Previously the system had been up for over a year.
I think that our new Network Security person, started scanning the gluster
server with Nessus about the same time our trouble started. I'm looking to
whack him with a wet noodle and get him to stop that.
Thanks!
Michael
