I=E2=80=99m not really sure about the provenance since we were simply = evaluating glusterfs for awhile and may have pulled in interim versions = from those sources, but obviously it would be best to have an official = maintainer and someone in the FreeBSD project actually curating a = glusterfs port so that all users of FreeBSD can use it. It would also = be fairly key to your own efforts, assuming you decide to pursue = glusterfs as a foundation technology for pNFS.

I=E2=80=99d be happy to send you an amd64 = architecture machine to develop on. :) - Jordan
