Hi Guys,

Attending:

Lalatendu Mohanty Jim Perrin Jonathan Billings Ross Smith Karanbir Singh

Here are the notes from the Stora SIG Meeting from the 17th Sept:

- Welcome Jonathan and Ross wanting to bring OpenAFS into the CentOS Storage SIG.

OpenAFS: - kmod kabi whitelist does not always work, but that isnt a problem with the CentOS Linux buildsystem since we can do dependancy and trigger builds. the openafs kmod would just need to have a trigger on the kernel and they would then be rebuilt everytime a new kernel is done

- we will need some level of testing, since kmod' build + load isnt enough of an assertion that the code will be usable

- there is no real dep chain beying the gcc build tools, kernel headers and the kmod tool ( however, it wraps its own kmod tool )

- Jonathan to speak with upstream OpenAFS folks, both for their involvement in the SIG as well as licensing and redistribution permissions, if we need any

- We might be able to get a few nodes running in a CI fashion to prove the builds are consumeable, and have that plumbed into the regular CentOS CI infra.

- Lalatendu will attempt a srpm build for openAFS as a data point on how much work might be needed for that to be release grade

GlusterFS: - NFS Ganesha support needs some deps from EPEL: longer term we want to strive for a direct relationship that works in a manner that we can consume and contribute into EPEL, for now we will just pull the deps into the StorageSIG build targets, but ensure any changes and proposed patches are upstream ( where upstream in this case is EPEL ) for those deps.

- KB and Lalatendu to work on getting up a Gluster testing repo on buildlogs.centos.org and deliver a centos-release-gluster macro package to setup yum content

- Lalatendu to work on a short getting started wiki page, with urls pointing to upstream docs for more info.

Next meeting on the 1st Oct, at 3:15 UTC on bluejeans.com; folks wanting to attend should get in touch with KB.

regards,
