Hello all, We are planing a 3.2.1 release and we would like to hear from you all on the specific concerns you may have about 3.2.0 stability and any bugs that you are hitting in 3.2.0 (if they already have not been filed yet). Inputs on 3.1.x is welcome too, please be specific on the information you provide us. Community feedback is of paramount importance to us, please file bugs to help us address them soon. Thanks, VS -- Vidya Sakar N Senior Engineering Manager Gluster Software India (P) Ltd Bangalore
hi vidya, the main general points for me are: 1/ documentation. if gluster is not 100% posix compatible then please *dont* say that it is as it only undermines the credibility of gluster as a file-system. if we know what does and doesn't work then we can make informed decisions and work around any issues. 2/ better reporting. ie, we should be able to know which files are not replicated. right now, there's no way knowing how safe any of your data is. i'd be interested if this is even possible with the very decentralised way gluster works? 3/ NFS nlm locking & other posix compatibility issues solved. 4/ stability stability and more stability. please, no more "features" till the foundations are rock solid. i want gluster to work - but it's credibility as a "safe" file system is at issue here. what could be more important than that? ..i hope this is of use. regards, paul On 24 May 2011 11:52, Vidya Sakar <vs at gluster.com> wrote:> Hello all, > > We are planing a 3.2.1 release and we would like to hear from you all on > the specific concerns you may have about 3.2.0 stability and any bugs that > you are hitting in 3.2.0 (if they already have not been filed yet).

Hi, for us, gluster 3.2.0 really messed up everything in a distribute/replicate setup. Everything should be mentioned in this thread. http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2011-May/007705.html The most important features for us would be: 1. 100% posix compatibility (this is already mentioned as a feature in the FAQ!!!) 2. Better documentation. All the options and their settings do not really explain what they do. I could guess that performance.cache-size somehow influences performance, but for us changing it to very high (4Gbs and more) and very low (128Mb) did not change a thing. Same for stat-prefetch (which is supposed to make ls quickier) on/off: nothing. Would be nice to see some scenarios/settings and their benchmarks. Thanks for the effort, udo.
