remember reading anywhere that glusterfs was production ready, a final

works? If it works for you in its current state, super, but otherwise
it is an actively developed project? I also dont remember seeing that
you had to PAY for it anywhere, it is FREE. So to complain about it or
get rude over it, especially when you have not contributed or added
anything constructive to it, well thats kind of lame in my eyes.
Ok, let's be clear here, so far as I can seem GlusterFS is available as a commercial product.

One of my points was that there is a HEAVY implication that this IS a
production ready environment.
This is liable to encourage people who are doing a little more than just
"playing".
You're way off the mark here. You're inferring that it isn't production
ready from it seemingly being unable to do what _you_ want for _your_ use
case. As I pointed out in the other thread, for your use case, there are
more appropriate tools for the job.
Is this not a typical open sourced project model, release a free product
and feed the free testing results back into the commercial model?
IMO, it _is_ a typical OSS model. If you want to contribute, you are free
to do so. If you don't want to contribute, it is still free for you to
use. I'm not sure I understand what you are implying the problem to be.
