I admin three sites in the creative industries packed full of MacOSX workstations, so a native MacOSX GlusterFS client also appeals to me greatly.

I cannot even begin to describe to you the hell I've suffered at the hands of Apple's NFS client. After 6 months of production headaches, we've written it off as completely non-functional (and this has nothing to do with Gluster - NFS is broken on MacOSX regardless of which vendor is supplying the NFS storage). We now rely on Samba on top of GlusterFS to server our Macs, and that too is painful (no NFS3-style authenticationless mounting means all sorts of heartache when dealing with a large, multi-user UNIX environment). Again, GlusterFS native on MacOSX would be a dream. Anyone working on this has me as a very gracious beta tester with ~400TB of GlusterFS storage in production and a network full of users very willing to test your code. -Dan _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
