Hi Shravan,
Having recently set up geo-replication of Gluster v3.5.3 I can tell you
that there is effectively almost no documentation. The documentation
that does exists is primarily focused on describing the differences
between the current and previous versions. That's completely useless to
someone wanting to set it up for the first time and not a whole lot
better for someone who has upgraded. The first, and perhaps most
crucial, piece of information that's missing is installation
requirements. Nowhere have I been able to find out exactly which
components are required on either the master or the slave. In my case
this was determined by pure trial and error. i.e. Install what I think
should be needed and then continue installing components until it starts
to work. Even once that part is done, there is a LOT of documentation
missing. I recall that when I first set up geo-replication (v3.2 or
v3.3?) I was able to follow clear and simple step by step instructions
that almost guaranteed success.
regards,
John

*Hi All, *
*"The Gluster Filesystem documentation is not user friendly and
fragmented" and this has been the feedback we have been receiving. *
*We got back to our drawing board and blueprints and realized that the
content was scattered at various places. These include: *
*[Static HTML] http://www.gluster.org/documentation/ *
*[Mediawiki] http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/ *
*[In-source] https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/tree/master/doc *
*[Markdown] https://github.com/GlusterFS/Notes *
*and so on… *
*Hence, we started by curating content from various sources including
gluster.org static HTML documentation, glusterfs github repository, *
*various blog posts and the Community wiki. We also felt the need to
improve the community member's experience with Gluster documentation.
This led us to put some thought into the user interface. As a result
we came up with a page which links all content into a single landing
page: *
*http://www.gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/Staged_Docs *
*This is just our first step to improve our community docs and enhance
the community contribution towards documentation. I would like to
thank Humble Chirammal and Anjana Sriram for the suggestions and
directions during the entire process. I am sure there is lot of scope
for improvement. *
*Hence, request you all to review the content and provide your
suggestions. *
Regards,
Shravan Chandra
