Tejas, Any idea when 3.0.5 will be released? I am very anxious for these patches to be in production. On another note, I am very new to Gluster let alone Linux. Could you, or someone else, give me some guidance (How to) in applying the patches. I would like to test them for now? Bryan McGuire On May 19, 2010, at 8:06 AM, Tejas N.
