I’ve been meaning to write a new post on this blog for quite some time now, but keep pushing it forward. After nearly 2 years since my last post (and even longer since an update), it’s time for an update about what’s been happening with me. When I last posted, I was a little over half an year into working remote. I was working on Gluster and was leading the efforts on GlusterD2....
Note: As of early 2019, development on GD2 has stopped and is no longer maintained. The GD2 developers and maintainers, including me, have moved on to other projects. The Gluster-4.0 release is here, one of the most important releases for the Gluster community in quite some time. The bump in the major version is being brought about by a few new changes, namely a change in the on-wire protocol, and the new management framework, GlusterD2 (GD2 for short)....

Designing and prototyping volgen for GD2 I’ve recently begun working on volgen for GD2. This post gives an overview of what I’ve been doing till now. Some background first One of the requirements for GD2 is to make it easier to modify the volume graphs, in particular make it easier to add new translators into the volume graph. GlusterD right now has hardcoded graph topologies in its code. This makes it very hard to begin modify graphs....

3 posts and nearly 2 years since I moved kshlm.in to Ghost, I moving off it. This site used to run on a free Openshift Online Node.js gear. Even though I didn’t post regularly, I’d kept Ghost updated (moved from a 0.5.x release to 0.7.x). Updating was a manual effort, because I’d originally created the site using a template that I’d found on Github, before a community supported cartridge was available in Openshift....
