I am happy to announce the General Availability of Gluster 6 for
CentOS 6 on x86_64. These packages are following the upstream Gluster
Community releases, and will receive monthly bugfix updates.

Gluster 6 is expected to receive updates until the end of March 2020.
The maintanance and release schedule can be found at:
  https://www.gluster.org/release-schedule/

Users of CentOS 6 can now simply install the Gluster 6 clients with
only these two commands:

  # yum install centos-release-gluster
  # yum install glusterfs-fuse

The centos-release-gluster package is delivered via CentOS Extras repos.
This contains all the metadata and dependency information, needed to
install Gluster 6. The actual package that will get installed is
centos-release-gluster6. Users of Gluster 4.1 can stay on that release
until June 2019.

We have a quickstart guide specifically built around the packages are
available, it makes for a good introduction to Gluster and will help get
you started in just a few simple steps, this quick start is available at
  https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/gluster-Quickstart

More details about the packages that the Gluster project provides in the
Storage SIG is available in the documentation:
  https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Gluster

The centos-release-gluster* repositories offer additional packages that
enhance the usability of Gluster itself. Utilities and tools that were
working with previous versions of Gluster are expected to stay working
fine. If there are any problems, or requests for additional tools and
applications to be provided, just send us an email with your
suggestions. The current list of packages that is (planned to become)
available can be found here:

We welcome all feedback, comments and contributions. You can get in
touch with the CentOS Storage SIG on the centos-devel mailing list
(https://lists.centos.org ) and with the Gluster developer and user
communities at https://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo , we are also
available on irc at #gluster on irc.freenode.net, and on twitter at
