The 3.5.1 release is backwards compatible with 3.4.x, but in order to 
enable the 'server.manage-gids' volume option, all servers and clients 
using the volume should get the 3.5.1 update. RPM packages for 3.5.1 
have been made available earlier this week. I guess that .deb packages 
follow soon.

Cheers,
Niels

Ahh, great. I am very glad, at least, that this is a known issue and that
it's being addressed.

Well that's a first :).

I will test this against the 3.5.1 release when that is ready. Is the 3.5.1
version of vfs_glusterfs backwards compatible with glusterfs 3.4, or do I
need to upgrade the whole cluster to leverage the new vfs_glusterfs?

Thanks so much,
Dave
