mgmt/glusterd: add option to specify a different base-port

2013-11-06T11:06:40+00:00

This is (arguably) a hack to work around a bug in libvirt which is not
well behaved wrt to using TCP ports in the unreserved space between
49152-65535. (See RFC 6335)

Normally glusterd starts and binds to the first available port in range,
usually 49152. libvirt's live migration also tries to use ports in this
range, but has no fallback to use (an)other port(s) when the one it wants
is already in use.

libvirt cannot fix this in time for their impending release. This is
submitted to gerrit to provide some minimal visibility upstream to justify
hacking this change (as a temporary patch) into the glusterfs-3.4.1 RPMs
for Fedora 18-21 until libvirt can fix their implementation.

glusterd: Allow bumping down a peer's op-version during probe

2013-09-10T16:09:18+00:00

  Backport of http://review.gluster.org/5715

Earlier, a peer running a higher op-version couldn't be probed into a
cluster running at a lower op-version. This created issues when trying
to expand an upgraded cluster. This patch changes this behaviour.

The cluster no longer rejects a peer being probed if its op-version is
higher than the cluster op-version. The peer will reduce its op-version
if it doesn't have any volumes. If the peer contains volumes and needs
to reduce its op-version, it fails the handshake and the probe fails.

doc: Move admin-guide to markdown format.

2013-07-23T10:59:51+00:00

Editing markdown is probably more easier than xml.

pandoc can then be used for conversion to html, pdf and any other necessary
formats. Note that pandoc has the following input and output formats:

Input: markdown and (subsets of) Textile, reStructuredText, HTML, LaTeX, and
DocBook XML.

Output:plain text, markdown, reStructuredText, XHTML,  HTML  5,  LaTeX
(including beamer slide shows), ConTeXt, RTF, DocBook XML, OpenDocument XML,
ODT, Word docx, GNU Texinfo, MediaWiki markup, EPUB, Textile, groff man pages,
Emacs Org-Mode, AsciiDoc, and Slidy, Slideous, DZSlides, or S5 HTML slide shows.
It can also  pro‐ duce PDF output on systems where LaTeX is installed.

All documentation changes can be submitted as changes to markdown and we can
attempt a periodic documentation refresh on gluster.org.
