Proposal looks great!


Thanks.

I'm wondering if you are aware of Redhat's CloudFS project. It adds namespace isolation, ID isolation, storage encryption and network encryption to Gluster. Having these kind of features takes a step towards addressing cloud computing privacy issues.

Yes, we're aware of it. It is great that GlusterFS is getting more eyeballs of the calibre and experience of Jeff. Overall, some of the changes in the core and the framework of GlusterFS brought in by CloudFS, eg. SSL support, will gradually be merged back but for the rest of the major changes, there is nothing final yet because it is too early to comment.

Hope that answers your question, if only partly. I am CC'ing Anand Avati who offered to throw more light on CloudFS and GlusterFS.

I'm not sure it's in the scope of your plans, but when I saw your proposal I thought that it would be nice to have some of these features as well, or at least space for them on the roadmap.


Best regards,


Sherman Boyd
