Re: State of the gluster project

Hi.

I'm also migrating to BeeGFS and CephFS (depending on usage).

What I liked most about Gluster was that files were easily recoverable from bricks even in case of disaster and that it said it supported RDMA. But I soon found that RDMA was being phased out, and I always find entries that are not healing after a couple months of (not really heavy) use, directories that can't be removed because not all files have been deleted from all the bricks and files or directories that become inaccessible with no apparent reason. Given that I currently have 3 nodes with 30 12TB disks each in replica 3 arbiter 1 it's become a major showstopper: can't stop production, backup everything and restart from scratch every 3-4 months. And there are no tools helping, just log digging :( Even at version 9.6 seems it's not really "production ready"... More like v0.9.6 IMVHO. And now it being EOLed makes it way worse.

Hi,

Red Hat Gluster Storage is EOL, Red Hat moved Gluster devs to other projects, so Gluster doesn't get much attention. From my experience, it has deteriorated since about version 9.0, and we're migrating to alternatives.

    Hi all,
    I just have a general thought about the gluster
    project.
    I have got the feeling that things has slowed down
    in the gluster project.
    I have had a look at github and to me the project
    seems to slow down, for gluster version 11 there has
    been no minor releases, we are still on 11.0 and I have
    not found any references to 11.1.
    There is a milestone called 12 but it seems to be
    stale.
    I have hit the issue:
    https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/4085
    <https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/4085>
    that seems to have no sollution.
    I noticed when version 11 was released that you
    could not bump OP version to 11 and reported this,
    but this is still not available.

    I am just wondering if I am missing something here?

    We have been using gluster for many years in production
    and I think that gluster is great!! It has served as well over
    the years and we have seen some great improvments
    of stabilility and speed increase.

    So is there something going on or have I got
    the wrong impression (and feeling)?

    Best regards
    Marcus
