Very nice. Thanks for the info. I plan to go with 3.12 for now, then upgrade to CentOS 7 later.

I'm a little confused about the state of glusterfs-server on CentOS 6. It isn't supported with gluster 4, the current recommended version of gluster.
There are no glusterfs-server-4.x packages provided for CentOS6[1].
Besides the usual "run the latest version" advice, I'm not sure who is saying GlusterFS-4.x is recommended. My advice — when you're setting up a new cluster — is to install the latest available version for your platform.
I have an existing server with glusterfs-server 3.8.15-1 which had a hard drive crash. So I'd like to rebuild the gluster environment on that server. I see that centos-release-gluster38 is available, but I read some- where that it is no longer supported.
That's correct. GlusterFS-3.8 reached EOL on 2017-08-30[2]. That simply means that if you have non-trivial problems with it, the first (only) suggestion will be to update to a newer, supported, version.
Also centos-release-gluster312 is available, but I don't see any indication that it is still supported.
GlusterFS-3.12 has not reached EOL yet[2].
Is the SIG providing any ongoing support beyond that which is provided by the gluster project?
The SIG only distributes RPMs, it does not provide support. _Support_ for community/upstream GlusterFS is available on the mailing list, mailto:gluster-users@gluster.org, and on IRC in #gluster on Freenode.
What is the current recommendation of the storage sig for running glusterfs-server on CentOS 6?
GlusterFS-3.12 is the only full, non-EOL version of GlusterFS for CentOS 6. [2] hasn't been updated yet to reflect that GlusterFS-3.10 has reached EOL; even so, you can still install it, subject to the same limitations outlined above.
