Thanks Amar, I got it working and the server runs, though I have not been able to test mounting it yet on Linux. When I try to build glusterfs, it shows: checking for fuse_req_interrupt_func in -lfuse... no ... ... ... GlusterFS configure summary =========================== Fuse client : no Infiniband verbs : no epoll IO multiplex : no I suspect this is why I am not being able to get a client installed. Do you have any suggestions of things I might try to get a client working on FreeBSD? The two fuse packages installed the following files, but I still can not get the client to work.

Also, if these will be effected by the patches that were committed, is there a particular snapshot that you think would both include this and likely be stable for production use?
