We haven't removed any functionality in 3.3. In 3.2, we added support
for gluster domains through a POSIXFS interface. In 3.3, we're adding
a feature where we support gluster natively. This works in Fedora,
but is not available on EL6. The POSIXFS option still exists
You're right but
what about users who want to use the (much) improved
speed of the gluster domain over the POSIXFS interface? They are left
out or they should move to Fed19 which I would do but I need to convince
a couple of other people as well and they aren't going to agree.

We're trying to work out a way to do this in a consistent manner going
forward. We should have a solution soon, but in the meantime, the
other functionality and features should work on both Fedora and EL6.
Thanks for the
clarification and I'm waiting eagerly for what/when the
solution comes out.
