• Blocker issues across the project?

  • It looks like the lock-recovery changes introduced with https://review.gluster.org/#/c/glusterfs/+/22712/ has issues. We already fixed gluster/glusterfs#2456 and gluster/glusterfs#2337 but looks like the code is buggy. Need someone to take a look at the difference between posix-locks and client xlators in how the locks are maintained to fix the issue completely.

• Notable thread form mailing list

  • Not exactly from mailing list. Slack user pinged me and asked me if it is possible to let the users know of any known issues in the latest releases so that they can make a decision about which version to use. For example: 9.0 and 9.1 had protocol issue.
  • Along the same lines, I wanted to ask one more question. Should we release beta-releases for major releases so that we get feedback about any issues that happen in their particular environment to address the issues even before the stable releases are made?
