A _real_ one, not _some_ one. Like lets say > Daniel Phillips, Theodore "Ted" Ts'o or the like. I know both Daniel and Ted professionally. As a member of the largest Linux filesystem group in the world, I am also privileged to work with many other world-class filesystem experts. I also know the Gluster folks quite well, and I can assure you that they have all the filesystem expertise they need. They also have a *second* kind of expertise - distributed systems - which is even more critical to this work and which the vast majority of filesystem developers lack. What Gluster needs is not more filesystem experts but more *other kinds* of experts as well as non-experts and resources. The actions AB has mentioned are IMO exactly those Gluster should be taking, and should be appreciated as such by any knowledgeable observer. Your flames are not only counter-productive but factually incorrect as well. Please, if only for the sake of your own reputation, try to do better.
