Hi,

Upstream glusterfs has given several indications that they do not
care about/support 32-bit architectures, as can be seen in this
(non-exhaustive) list of issues:

- https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/3911

- https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/702

Moreover, in Ubuntu, where glusterfs is built for armhf, some issues
have been filed about problems related to this lack of 32-bit support,
like:

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/1991441

- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/1951408

The underlying issue in these two bugs happen to be correlated:
glusterfs requires that the host supports 64-bit atomic operations, but
armhf and other 32-bit architectures don't offer such feature.

Therefore, I would like to request that the support for 32-bit
architecture in Debian's glusterfs package be dropped, please.

A quick investigation tells me that these packages will likely need to
be adjusted because they depend on glusterfs:

Reverse-Build-Depends
* fio                           (for libglusterfs-dev)
* libvirt                       (for libglusterfs-dev)
* nfs-ganesha                   (for libglusterfs-dev)
* qemu                          (for libglusterfs-dev)
* qemu                          (for glusterfs-common)
* tgt                           (for libglusterfs-dev)
* uwsgi                         (for libglusterfs-dev)

Reverse-Build-Depends-Arch
* samba                         (for libglusterfs-dev)

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help here.

Thanks,
