Hmm, this is might help from the robustness/features perspective: :) * 3.4.x series has been around for ages now, so is pretty battle tested. We still release patch versions for this for important bugs which show up. * 3.5.x series has been around a while as well, and is also pretty well tested by now. It has more features / and several internal optimisations/improvements over the 3.4.x series. We release patches for this series too for important bugs that show up. * 3.6.x series just came out. It's our latest and greatest feature set, but may be a bit "bleeding edge" until the next patch release (3.6.2), which should be coming out soon. This makes me realise we really need a version/features table on the website, with ticks and crosses to show which version of GlusterFS added what. :D + Justin -- GlusterFS - http://www.gluster.org An open source, distributed file system scaling to several petabytes, and handling thousands of clients.
