To be honest, I have no idea how to answer that.
Rocky guys do not want to duplicate the work,  as we got GlusterFS in 
CentOS Stream (see

while the CentOS guys confirmed my suspicion -> once Stream is dead, 
the whole infra will be deleted (see 
https://www.spinics.net/lists/centos-devel/msg21628.html ) and no more 
packages will be available.


As IBM's Red Hat is now abandoning GlusterFS, I see a lot of 
challanges for the project.

So what do you think will happen? If Red Hat is bailing, it seems like 
Gluster isn't going to be around much longer, is it?


That's a real bummer, it was a pretty cool tool.

[Gluster-users] Error loading module '/usr/lib64/samba/vfs/glusterfs.so'

2021-01-02 Thread Thomas Cameron

Howdy, all -

I've tried both RHEL 8 and CentOS 8. I'm trying to install Gluster 8, 
following the instructions at 
https://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/GlusterFSonCentOS


I have these repos enabled for CentOS:

CentOS Linux 8 - AppStream
CentOS Linux 8 - BaseOS
CentOS-8 - Gluster 8
CentOS Linux 8 - Extras

I'm having the same issue with both distros. Samba is working fine for 
pure Samba stuff like home directories and browsing, but when I try to 
access the Gluster volume, I get a generic network error and I get 
entries in /var/log/samba/log.smbd like this:

I've searched for an RPM which provides 
/usr/lib64/samba/vfs/glusterfs.so for RHEL/CentOS 8 to no avail.


Do I need to downgrade to RHEL 7? I can, but I'd rather not.

Is there a repo I'm missing?

Thanks!
Thomas

[Gluster-users] Upgrade best practices request

2020-09-01 Thread Thomas Cameron

Howdy, all -

I have inherited a system which is running an ancient version of Gluster 
- I think it's 3.x (but I'm not at the site where it's running now) 
running on CentOS 7.


Obviously, I want to update it to the latest version, but I really don't 
want to screw anything up.


Is there a "correct" way of getting from 3.x to 8.x? Do I need to do any 
intermediate steps first, like 3 to 4?


Many thanks!
Thomas

Re: [Gluster-users] How safe are major version upgrades?

Thank you for that Hubert.

Does anyone know if an in-place upgrade between major versions is 
officially okay or not?


As a tangential question, what versions are safe to move from and to?

I've inherited an old CentOS 7 machine running an ancient version of 
Gluster (I want to say 3.x) from EPEL. Can I move from that to 7 
directly? Or do I need to go from 3 to 4 to 5 to 6 to 7?
