Thanks for that.
One thing that would help is more visibility. Is it possible to make the community calls?

Subject: [NFS-Ganesha-Support] Re: [NFS-Ganesha-Devel] Unsupported FSALs
Hi Frank,
I’m writing as a member of the SaunaFS <https://github.com/leil-io/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
