Re: another mailstore glusterfs issue

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Anand,

I am looking at the arch repository (I guess) at:
http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/gluster/glusterfs/glusterfs--mainline/

I downloaded the base, but do I need to download ALL of the patches and apply them? I am not really sure how to build glusterfs from this. Is there a document to follow, or a process?

Thanks!

-Jeff

Jeff,
the arch repository has been having a fix for a bug which causes such behavior since a while. Can you please check if the source repository version fixes your issue? The fix will be included in the next release.
