Hi,
I've got mac-burned DMGs/Sparseimages the contents of which need to be
burned into encrypted gluster volumes so I'm using 3.5.x.
In my research I've got two choices:
1. Open the files using HFS+-supported Linux box which acts as a Gluster Client
2. Open the files on Mac and use the Mac as the Gluster client.
I could open them with the Mac and transfer the data to a gluster client linux
box but that's an additional step I'm hoping to avoid.
Re 1, Linux support for HFS/+ is well flaky and probably a no-go. I explored
2., but as there's no 3.5 glusterFS pkg for Mac, I tried from source:
GlusterFS configure summary
==========================FUSE client : yes
Infiniband verbs : no
epoll IO multiplex : no
argp-standalone : yes
fusermount : yes
readline : yes
georeplication : no
Linux-AIO : no
Enable Debug : no
systemtap : yes
Block Device xlator : no
glupy : yes
Use syslog : yes
XML output : yes
QEMU Block formats : no
Encryption xlator : no
Because of the summary ('if something else says 'no', that feature
in GlusterFS will not be built'), I cannot proceed, but all the docs only
point to builds which have all the components.
Where can I get and check all the components in the above list?
What this forum's thoughts on the maturity of the gluster client - my gut is
saying I should be using linux, but I've failed so far with HFS+ support.
Thanks
Mark

Pretty sure that won't work yet. :( We're adding official GlusterFS FUSE client support for OSX with our upcoming v3.6 release. The code is early stage at the moment so not something you'd want to use on production data. That being said, if you have time to try it out and provide feedback, that would be directly useful. The more testing on OSX for the upcoming 3.6 client bits, the better. :) Early stage OSX Homebrew formula if that helps: https://github.com/justinclift/homebrew/blob/glusterfs360alpha/Library/Formula/glusterfs.rb Regards and best wishes, Justin Clift -- GlusterFS - http://www.gluster.org An open source, distributed file system scaling to several petabytes, and handling thousands of clients.
