Gluster users - Nov 2016 - How-To downgrade GlusterFS

Hi,

I was using gluster 3.4 and upgraded to 3.8, but that version showed to be
unusable for me. I now need to downgrade.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04. As upgrades of the op version are irreversible, I
guess I have to delete all gluster volumes and re-create them with the
downgraded version.

0. Backup data
1. Unmount all gluster volumes
2. apt-get purge glusterfs-server glusterfs-client
3. Remove PPA for 3.8
4. Add PPA for older version
5. apt-get install glusterfs-server glusterfs-client
6. Create volumes

Is "purge" enough to delete all configuration files of the currently
installed version or do I need to  manually clear some residues before
installing an older version?

Thanks.

Would you be able to share what is not working for you in 3.8.x (mention
the exact version). 3.4 is quite old and falling back to an unsupported
version doesn't look a feasible option.
