<font style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;" size="2">Greetings everyone,<br>
<br>
</font><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">On behalf of the Gluster team I'm happy to announce that we've</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">
released <span class="il">GlusterFS</span> v2.0. <font face="comic sans ms,sans-serif">Would it be possible to get Debian packages <br>for the 2.0.0 release if you all are not busy :). At least provide us the <br>procedure/details so that we can arrange a few people from our side to <br>
look into it. </font></span><br><br>Thanks<br><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">

<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">===========</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">About <span class="il">GlusterFS</span>:</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">
<span class="il">GlusterFS</span> is a clustered file system that runs on commodity</span><font style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;" size="2"><br>
</font><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">off-the-shelf hardware, delivering multiple times the scalability and</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">
performance of conventional storage. The architecture is modular,</span><font style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;" size="2"><br>
</font><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">stackable and kernel-independent, which makes it easy to customize,</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">
install, manage and support different operating systems. Multiple </span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">
storage systems can be clustered together, supporting petabytes of</span><font style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;" size="2"><br>
</font><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">capacity in a single global namespace. Building a configuration of a</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">
few hundred terabytes can be accomplished in less than thirty minutes.</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">

There are a number of</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">production deployments now. <span class="il">GlusterFS</span> uses existing disk file systems</span><br>
<span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">(such as Ext3, XFS, ZFS..) to store your data as regular files and</span><br style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: comic sans ms,sans-serif;">folders. You can restore the data, even after you uninstall <span class="il">GlusterFS</span>.</span><br>
