[Gluster-devel] GlusterFS 3.1prealpha

[Anand Avati]

Hello Developer Community,

We've released an early QA build for GlusterFS v3.1. We know many of you like 
to get your hands on the latest code so this is your opportunity to get an 
early look at the product as we move through the QA process. Of course we would 
love to hear your feedback and have set up the following alias for GlsuterFS 
3.1 related input: address@hidden

This latest release brings a significant upgrade to dynamic volume management 
capabilities, simplifying setup and allowing you to add, remove, and migrate 
storage servers with no downtime or machine restarts. The Gluster native NFS 
implementation (which many of you may have already seen) is also included in 
the build. We are particularly interested in use cases with virtual server and 
cloud environments.

How can you help?

We encourage developers to participate in testing, report bugs, send patches 
and give feedback on functionality. Put Gluster to the test and expect it to 
crash :) With that in mind, please DO NOT use in a production environment. This 
is intended for QA testing purposes only, not all bugs are fixed, and the usual 
caveats apply. We value your opinion and would love to hear your feedback, good 
or bad, to ensure the highest quality product. 

Feedback Alias: Please send your feedback to address@hidden
