Well maybe Puppet-Gluster is the black-sheep child that doesn't get no love, but I believe that GlusterFS isn't very useful without some sort higher level configuration management tool, specifically for when users want to scale. At the moment, few people really use GlusterFS at 100+ hosts / petabyte scale. What about 1000? 10k? How are we going to manage that? It would be helpful to be notified if things were going to break. Because of Gluster's weird configuration system (instead of a simple stable configuration file), Puppet-Gluster does this manually, eg: https://github.com/purpleidea/puppet-gluster/blob/master/manifests/host.pp#L86 https://github.com/purpleidea/puppet-gluster/blob/master/manifests/host.pp#L191 Another place it tracks internals is through the xml properties: https://github.com/purpleidea/puppet-gluster/blob/master/files/xml.py#L39 > > A lot of the projects that are on http://forge.gluster.org are related > and important to the community, but most of them should not need to > track changes in the glusterfs-sources.
