Hi, we have 2 replicate-3 systems, and i upgraded both online from 5.12 to 6.8 and then to 7.6. No (big) problems here, upgrade took between 10 to 20 minutes (wait until healing is done) - but no geo replication, so i can't say anything about that part. Best regards, Hubert Am Di., 25.

[Gluster-users] How safe are major version upgrades?
Thank you for that Hubert. Does anyone know if an in-place upgrade between major versions is officially okay or not?
