Thanks for the response – the one functionality or hook I’m looking for is a notification for brick failure – presently the process involves checking the volume
status to see if a certain brick goes offline. When a brick fails, would want to start a timer and replace the brick if it does not come up automatically – alternatively if gluster allowed specifying “hot-stand-bys”
to replace with at a certain timeout (eg. 1 minute or a replica threshold) it would work. Thanks Regards Nirmal From: RAGHAVENDRA TALUR [mailto:raghavendra.talur@xxxxxxxxx]

eg. the present libgfapi has glfs_mgmt.c with a few rpc messages exchanged with glusterd https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/blob/master/api/src/glfs-mgmt.c Any interest or plans to have more operations exposed (especially brick status change notifications to be propagated to applications)? I’m wondering if gluster cli could be built
on this library – it would involve taking the functionality that exists in the cli into a library and separating out the console interactions. Thanks Regards Nirmal
Hi Nirmal, The file glfs_mgmt.c has only those functions which are required by the client stack of glusterfs to interact with glusterd. The management here refers to interaction of the process/library with the glusterfs management daemon which is glusterd for its own purpose. GFAPI is currently intended to be used only as a interface/api to the file glusterfs filesystem and not for management operations. Do you have a specific requirement which would require such a feature from GFAPI? There are other projects being developed to provide API for management operations like
