Hi, Here is my take on gluster today. We experience the same type of problem as well with failing heals and manual, timeconsuming work. I asked the same type of question on the list a number of months ago about the gluster project state and my conclution on the answers is that the gluster project has just slowed down more and more and people are leaving for other file systems. For a long time nothing has been released from the project and the mailing list has just gone more and more quiet. Gluster has served us well for many years and I think that gluster has been a really great filesystem and it makes me sad to see that gluster is comming to an end. I really like it!! Internally in our organization we have had discussions and made tests with cephfs and our decision is that we will leave gluster and use cephfs instead. As we do not see that gluster will improve we have no other option then to use other filesystems and in our case it will be ceph. I hope this helps!!
