Hi Aravinda, Interesting, I had no idea you were trying to do this. We've used Gluster from the v3 days and have had few problems over the years (well performance, but there are ways of dealing with that to a certain extent). We have no short-term plans to migrate away from Gluster but are obv

It is very unfortunate that Gluster is not maintained. From Kadalu Technologies, we are trying to set up a small team dedicated to maintain GlusterFS for the next three years. This will be only possible if we get funding from community and companies. The details about the proposal is here  https

Maybe a bit OT... I'm no expert on either, but the concepts are quite similar. Both require "extra" nodes (metadata and monitor), but those can be virtual machines or you can host the services on OSD machines. We don't use snapshots, so I can't comment on that. My experience with Ceph is limi

Hi all, I just have a general thought about the gluster project. I have got the feeling that things has slowed down in the gluster project. I have had a look at github and to me the project seems to slow down, for gluster version 11 there has been no minor releases, we are still on 11.0 and I have
