Which is shame because I choose GlusterFS for one of my storage clusters
_specifically_ due to the ease of emergency data recovery (for purely
replicated volumes) even in case of complete failure of the software
stack and system disks - just grab the data disks, mount on a suitable
machine and copy the data off.

And that is the beauty of Gluster. You know you always have your data as long as just one disk survives.

my hope is that gluster survives due to its open source nature and the fact that is rather mature.

and, yes hopefully, the kadula will keep it (or their fork of it) going if no one else steps up

Certainly there won't be much in the way of improvements but its been pretty feature stable for awhile especially for replicated bricks.

So I hope that the work involved would involve adapting it to the newer OS distros.

Anyone knows of distributed FS with similar easy emergency recovery?

(I also run Ceph, but Bluestore seems to be pretty much a black box.)

What has been your impression of the performance difference between Ceph and Gluster, especially in regards to VMs

Its been awhile since I tried Ceph at the time, I found it that it required more moving parts (compared to Gluster which is of course silly simple to get going) for not much improvement, but i'd assume they have improved that since then.

Well,

After IBM acquisition, RH discontinued their support in many projects
including GlusterFS (certification exams were removed, payed product went
EOL, etc).

The only way to get it back on track is with a sponsor company that haves
the capability to drive it.
Kadalu is relying on GlusterFS but they are not as big as Red Hat and
based on one of the previous e-mails they will need sponsorship to dedicate
resources.

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
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
