Hi all

I have a RHEL machine with gluster 7.9 installed, which is the one from EPEL.
Also, I have a set of debian machines running glusterfs server/cluster with
version 9.3. Is it likely to work well with this combination or should
everything be the same version? That might be a bit hard across distros. Also,
RHEL just sells gluster, since it's such a nice feature so they find it hard
to not charge us USD 4500 per year per node for it, plus the price difference
between an edu license and a full license, per node. Well, we can probably use
that money for something else, but we're not quite ready to leave rhel yet
(not my fault). So - would these different versions be compatible or what would
the potential problems be to mix them like described?
