Jesse, thoughts on this?

I kinda think it would be useful to have instructions which give
correct steps for Ubuntu + Red Hat (and anything else suitable).

Josh, if Jesse agrees, then your Ubuntu knowledge will probably
be useful for this. ;)

GlusterFS - http://www.gluster.org

An open source, distributed file system scaling to several
petabytes, and handling thousands of clients.

My personal twitter: twitter.com/realjustinclift

Good evening gentlemen,

I would be interested in creating this documentation.

I have recently setup glusterfs 3.4.2 + 3.6.2 on Ubuntu 14.04 and CentOS 7
and done some benchmarks on our hosting platform, however do not have year
long experience in running glusterfs (however some more experience with
Sheepdog/Ceph).

I am nonetheless interested in creating it, also for the purpose of
finding the rough edges of glusterfs.

The big question for me however is, in which time frame this
documentation is to be created, as I'd create it in my evening spare
time.

Cheers,

Nico

This is interesting to me, I'd like the chance to run my performance tests
on a cloud provider's systems.  We could put together some recommendations
for configuration, tuning, and performance numbers?  Also it would be cool
to enhance my setup scripts to work with cloud instances.  Sound like what
you are looking for ish?
