Hello Kunal,<div><br></div><div> I began to study gluster and use it to try some concepts by the middle of 2012 and for me the most useful sources of information were/are:</div><div><br></div><div> To begin with:</div><div>
- The four posts "Translator 101" from Jeff Darcy at <a href="http://hekafs.org/index.php/2011/11/">http://hekafs.org/index.php/2011/11/</a><br clear="all"><div> - The translator api description at <a href="http://hekafs.org/dist/xlator_api_2.html">http://hekafs.org/dist/xlator_api_2.html</a></div>
<div><br></div><div> Then:</div><div> - The gluster-devel list history at <a href="http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.gluster.devel">http://news.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.gluster.devel</a> </div><div>
- About the gluster protocol comm, some reverse engineering Niels presented at the last Gluster workshop at Linuxcon</div><div> <a href="http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/File:Gluster_Wireshark_Niels_de_Vos.pdf">http://gluster.org/community/documentation/index.php/File:Gluster_Wireshark_Niels_de_Vos.pdf</a></div>
<div><br></div><div> And some online doxygen documentation I found through the web from version 3.2.7 (you can always generate it yourself, but a direct like that sometimes is useful too).</div><div> - <a href="http://fossies.org/unix/privat/glusterfs-3.2.7.tar.gz/dox/struct__inode__ctx.html">http://fossies.org/unix/privat/glusterfs-3.2.7.tar.gz/dox/struct__inode__ctx.html</a></div>

Can anybody help me to give some pointers, from where I can start? or<br>
any specific feature set where I can start looking ?<br>

The best place to start digging in would be the source code :). Apart from the source code, some of these documents/articles can help improve your understanding of GlusterFS better:<br>

<br>
Jeff's blogs at: <a href="http://hekafs.org" target="_blank">http://hekafs.org</a><br>
<br>
You can also hop on to #gluster-dev on freenode where most of the developers hang out.<br>
<br>
You can also find a list of todos in GlusterFS here:<br>

Raghavendra (in CC) is also aggregating a new set of todo items. You should see that in the <a href="http://gluster.org" target="_blank">gluster.org</a> wiki shortly.<div class="im"><br>

I have a decent experience in Linux kernel development (6+ yrs) and<br>
worked mostly in Storage technologies (RAID ) and plan to give at least<br>
4-6 hours a week to this project.<br>
<br>
looking forward to work in this community.<br>
