What workloads were you using Gluster for? How did you reach out to the developers? Usually the mailing lists are very responsive and most bugs brought up on the lists are addressed.
Unless you try using its NFS server to get not entirely disastrous performance.
Wrong again, Gluster's NFS server is in userspace too. Not sure how that can cause a kernel panic.
Do you have more details on performance and stability issues? The recent releases of gluster have been working very well.
Gluster is completely in userspace. How would stability issues, if any, in userspace cause kernel panics? Can you comment more about that?
Have you tried more recent versions of GlusterFS? Starting with GlusterFS 3.3, all major versions are compatible. Even the recently released GlusterFS 3.5 is compatible with GlusterFS 3.3.
cool stuff.
