Hi,

Good suggestion. 

Another suggestion. Off topic - sorry. Some of the question are the same or
similar which also increase the amount of mails. Maybe it just me, but I failed
to find a way to search the archives
"http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/" for answers or
previous posts on the same topic. A way to search the archives could also
decrease the amount.

Thanks
Jesper

I tend to use gmane.org for searching. The archives are available there
too:
