Hi. I wanted to ask - how stable GlusterFS is for production? That because on side of successes, I see a lot of issues reporting, even people announcing rollback to other solution. This only a question we asked ourselves infrastructure planning - not an intention to show any disrespect to developers hard work :).

Very few people, if any, will post to a support list to say "everything works fine!" - in fact, that would be quite odd. In answer to your question, i currently have a client-side AFR deployment running 2.0rc1 that is humming along quite nicely. :) -- Daniel Maher <dma+gluster AT witbe DOT net>
Depending on which features of gluster you need, it''s very stable. Some features aren''t stable, which is why version 2.0 is not final yet. So, as I''ve suggested before here, test it in the specific configuration you require and if it works for you then you''re all set, if not, then wait until the issues are resolved.
