Hi Charles, I started using Glusterfs back in June. I initially tried 3.0.4 on Debian Squeeze. We ran into some problems as detailed at http://gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2010-June/004841.html (and previous mails in that thread). I note that it was a testing release of Debian which brings its own complications, but I also note that Ubuntu uses a lot of the packages from Debian. I also notice there has since been a 3.0.5 release. But we did end up switching to CentOS for that GlusterFS 3.0.4 deployment and didn't experience any similar problems. We're mainly a Debian/Ubuntu shop - but if you're trying things out, you might want to consider doing an install on a vanilla CentOS. -stephen On 16/09/10 23:01, Charles Martin wrote: > Hello, > I am getting started with GlusterFS and am starting with the latest version of Ubuntu.
