I apologize. I normally tend to try to be much more eloquent with my
debates. <br>
<br>
I woke up this morning to learn that the CentOS 6.4 rollout broke
all my end-user stations (yes, I have to do automatic updates. I
just don't have time to review every package and do everything else
I need to do all by my self). Put 200 employees without computers on
my shoulders and I tend to stress a little until it's resolved. <br>
<br>
I took a pot shot and it was uncalled for.<br>
<br>
Please forgive me.<br>

Oh Joe, that remark sounds rather inappropriate to me.<br>

Apparently we disagree on more levels that just kernel and

Apparently one year after the change having made

relevant. I don't, really don't.<br>

This argument could have been important
in March 2012, the month the ext4 change
as applied. Today, March 2013, or
Gluster devs decides to assume it's
incompatible with ext4 and states it
clearly in it's installations and
migration documentation, or fixes it's
current issues with ext4. No matter what
is done, it should have been done months
ago.<br>

No, it's actually quite
applicable. I'm aware of the
context of that statement by
Linus, and it applies to
this case. Kernel devs, at
least the ext4 maintainers,
are being hypocritical. <br>
<br>
There were a few exchanges
between Ted T'so and Avati,
among other people, on
gluster-devel. I highly
recommend you read them: <br>

This is probably true. I'm
*this* close to declaring
that, at least for the
Gluster community, ext4 is
considered harmful. There's
a reason Red Hat started
pushing XFS over ext4 a few
years ago. <br>
<br>
And Red Hat isn't alone
here. <br>

The ext4 hash size
change was applied in
the kernel an year ago.
I don't believe it will
be undone. Gluster
developers could argue
that this change was
hard on them, and that
it shouldn't be
backported to Enterprise
kernels but after one
year not having fixed it
is on Gluster
developers. Arguing
otherwise seems rather
foolish to me.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
</div>
I think that's a legitimate
argument to make. This is a
conversation that is worth
taking up on gluster-devel.
But I'm not sure what can be
done about it, seeing as how
the ext4 maintainers are not
likely to make the change. <br>
<br>
Frankly, dropping ext4 as an
FS we can recommend solves a
lot of headaches. <br>
