Hi Jomy,From my point of view, GlusterFS resides in userspace and doesn't have a hard-coded kernel module. Thus it would not have a tight dependency on a particular kernel version.
For example, Gluster 3.7 works on both CentOS 7 (Linux 3.10) and Fedora 23 (Linux 4.4).
But still, a clearer comment from RedHat experts is admirable. Best wishes, Chen On 5/10/2016 4:44 PM, Jomy Abraham wrote:
Hello,
We are currently using GlusterFS 3.5.3 on a commercial Linux
distribution (CGL variant) based on 2.6.34 kernel (64 bit).
In fact we are planning to migrate to different Linux distribution and
hence also planning to upgrade the GlusterFS version. In this context I
would like to understand whether GlusterFS has any tight dependency on
Linux kernel versions (for e.g. GlusterFS x.y will work only with some
particular version of Linux Kernel etc.. ??). It would be great if some
expert can give the pointers ..
