Thank you for the response Frank. I don't see your responses on https://lists.nfs-ganesha.org/archives/list/devel@lists.nfs-ganesha.org/thre... Is that by design?

Hmm, I did a reply all which usually gets the list cc:ed. You must have a reply-to header that overrode that?

Can you tell me more about the stability or rather instabilities you are aware of in V5.5? I recently imported V5.5 into our project at Google.

There are some known crashes: https://review.gerrithub.io/c/ffilz/nfs-ganesha/+/1167738?usp=search https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/issues/989 https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/issues/990 And I think there's another github issue or something, this week has turned out to be pretty busy so I'm still trying to sort everything out. Oh, there's also a FSAL_CEPH issue with 0 length reads...

Also, I am not in a position to bring CONTRIBUTING_HOWTO.txt up to date with regards to cloning. It would be great for future readers if that documentation is improved.

Please open a github issue and then it at least is in our backlog. Thanks Frank On Wed, Aug 30, 2023 at 10:57 AM Frank Filz <ffilzlnx@mindspring.com> wrote:

First of all, the home page says the community maintains an active, open IRC channel on Libera #ganesha. Most of our developers keep in touch on this channel. I recently posted messages there but have not seen any replied (*). Is that channel actively used? It that the best way to ask questions? or is it this mailing list?

I should also point out that time zone differences can impact IRC responses. And this is a good reason to follow up with e-mail if you don't get a prompt answer. I can't tell you how many times someone in India has asked a question, and then by the time I'm logged on in the morning (Pacific Time Zone), they have logged off and I can't respond to them... I do try and leave myself logged onto IRC so I will at least see things, but that doesn't help if the person asking the question does not do the same. Frank
