Merge

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section. A summary of the conclusions reached follows.

It appears that (as at 21 May 2018), GlusterFS has been merged into Gluster. There is (as noted below) another page Red Hat Storage Server which has a merge proposal tag that is not replicated at Gluster. To resolve this anomaly, I am closing this merge discussion and removing the merge tag at Red Hat Storage Server. Any other editor is welcome to start a new proposal to merge Red Hat Storage Server as required. Shhhnotsoloud (talk) 10:41, 21 May 2018 (UTC) (non-admin closure)[reply]

This page should be merged with (or redirect to) GlusterFS. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.246.1.137 (talk) 16:31, 11 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree they should be merged. I realize that "Gluster Inc.", the software company, is not even the same kind of thing as "Red Hat Gluster Storage" (formerly GlusterFS), the open-source network file system project. But at the moment, the contents of the two articles Gluster and GlusterFS have so much overlap that it seems better to have one article ("Gluster") that combines all that information with a couple of paragraphs about the distinction between them.

Perhaps later, if and when the article gets "too big" (WP:SIZE), we can split them back into those two articles -- or perhaps we will see a better way to split it up into multiple articles. "big buckets first". --DavidCary (talk) 04:28, 24 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, no merging should be performed. Gluster is a company (which became acquired by Red Hat), and GlusterFS is (one of) its product(s). It's more readable when those two are separate articles. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 00:50, 1 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I also agree they should be merged. But I think it is better to keep GlusterFS as the main article because(imo) it is more recognisable than Gluster, the software company. Also, the Architecture section has statements that has no citations and the references at the end of the paragraphs are related to the last sentence mostly, not for the entire paragraph so the merging should have research on the citations.

there is also a separate article on Red Hat Storage Server. Unlikely all three articles would qualify under an independent notability challenge, certainly with the scant sources provided so far. Maybe move all the technical details to the GlusterFS article, and then merge Gluster and Red Hat Storage Server to include the business news (in neutral tone and sources).

Link # 18 points to a report on the Lustre file system rather than Gluster. Dan Oom (talk) 22:12, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

History: "No Relation to Lustre"

About:

   The name Gluster combined GNU and cluster. Despite the similarity in names,
   Gluster is not related to the Lustre file system and does not incorporate
   any Lustre code.

I find this statement somewhat confusing. Given that the two are not related (in any way whatsoever, it seems to be saying, except for the similarity of their names), then why is it necessary to point out that they do not share code? Since they are not at all related, what presumption would there be that Gluster incorporates code from Lustre?
