I agree with you Frank,

 

How often are the community calls happening? We would like to join you and start participating in them.

Can you share the link or the invitation for this meeting?

 

All the best,

Rubén

Thanks for that.


One thing that would help is more visibility. Is it possible to make the community calls? Tuesday’s 7:00 AM Pacific Time.

 

Thanks

 

Frank

Hi Frank,

 

I’m writing as a member of the SaunaFS community to confirm that we rely on the SaunaFS FSAL for our filesystem.

However, we have encountered issues preventing us from migrating to the latest stable v6.5, as our test suite for Ganesha currently passes only for v4.4 but not for v6.5 (21 / 23 pass successfully, 2 tests fail).

 

In the coming days, I plan to update our GitHub Actions pipeline to run our test suite for Ganesha v6.5, making the results available to the Ganesha community.

As part of the SaunaFS community, we are committed to support SaunaFS FSAL and keep it up to date with the latest API changes.

 

From our team, we would like to contribute to ensure FSAL_SAUNAFS remains supported and compatible with the latest Ganesha versions.

 

Best regards,

Rubén

Community,

 

We have a number of FSALs in Ganesha that have no effective support, I’d like to understand who might still be relying on them and if there is anyone who might step up to support them, or whether we can consider removing some on an expedited timeline (normally we declare a FSAL is deprecated in one release, and then remove it in the next). Note that with the magic of git, deleted FSALs could easily be resurrected (though they might not have been updated to match API changes). The risk of not removing unsupported code is first that folks will use code with little or no support and open github issues that cannot effectively be addressed, and that unsupported code may not be properly updated as API changes are made.

 

The following FSALs are suspect:

 

src/FSAL/FSAL_VFS/xfs – this is marginally supported, but could be replaced with plain FSAL_VFS

src/FSAL/FSAL_VFS – there is also a Lustre FSAL that is built from this

src/FSAL/FSAL_GLUSTER

src/FSAL/FSAL_LIZARDFS

src/FSAL/FSAL_PROXY_V3

src/FSAL/FSAL_PROXY_V4

src/FSAL/FSAL_KVSFS

src/FSAL/FSAL_SAUNAFS

 

Thank for your thoughts

 

Frank Filz
