Gluster users - Jul 2009 - SPARC compatibility

Hello,

Forgive me if this is a stupid question, or if this is in the wrong list. 
I'm trying to run GlusterFS on a set of SUN Ultra 5's running Debian
Linux.  I get it to compile fine with the FUSE module, but then on trying to run
either the client or the server the programs terminate abnormally with a bus
error and a core dump.  They don't immediately crash either, but it seems
during the process of negotiating a connection.

I don't think I'm doing anything wrong; I have another set of x86
systems running Ubuntu Linux on which I could compile and run GlusterFS fine
using the same process that failed on the Ultra 5's.

Does GlusterFS only run on certain architectures?  I've seen other questions
in the list relating to SPARC.

Thanks.

Hi Kyle,

    We haven't tested glusterfs on SPARC systems yet.  Currently supported
architectures
    are Intel based "x86 and x86_64" . If you want to port it to SPARC
then
patches are
    welcome.

Regards
