Hello,
I was wondering if there are any upgrade documents available for upgrading to gluster 4.1 with oVirt 4.2.
I think oVirt expects the Gluster/NFS server to be available. This service has been dropped from Gluster in version 4 and has been replaced with the more featured NFS-server from the NFS-Ganesha project. I remember that there have been discussions about replacing the dependency in oVirt, but I do not know what plan and timeline came out of it. IIRC it was not a trivial change, but the end-of-life date for Gluster 3.12 has been known for at least 1.5 years now. The deprecation of Gluster/NFS has been announced even before that. My hope is that oVirt can be deployed without NFS-server, and just consume Gluster FUSE mounts, or the userspace libgfapi interface. Otherwise it may be needed to configure NFS-Ganesha, and that might be more difficult (it can do high-availability correctly, as opposed to Gluster/NFS). Niels
