Cool!

Sure, you can always install =
http://download.freenas.org/nightlies/9.3/ALPHA/20140625/ and install it =
under VirtualBox - that has the glusterfs port in it as currently =
described by =
https://github.com/freenas/ports/tree/freenas/9-stable/sysutils/glusterfs =
(I love github!).   I tried updating that port to Baptiste=92s latest =
version last night, but like I said, it croaked during the build process =
so I couldn=92t get another 9.3 nightly done and ended up simply =
reverting the changes for now.

That 2nd URL will also show you the current state of the Makefile and =
patches we needed to get glusterfs compiling under FreeNAS, which may =
prove instructive as to why =93our version=94 builds and the other does =
not.

Longer-term, once we get glusterd to not simply fall over with missing =
paths, if desired I can also create the glusterfs team an =
externally-facing VMWare VM containing the latest FreeNAS 9.3 build if =
they want to be able to test interoperability or otherwise beat on it to =
their heart=92s content.  We do this for the Samba project as well, =
since there=92s nothing like seeing one's code actually running in the =
target NAS environment to ensure it actually works, and it=92s easy to =
install nightly builds on it if and as things evolve.

In essence, yes, though it also provides some other nice features that =
accelerate the process of building appliances based on freebsd packages. =
 See https://fossil.etoilebsd.net/poudriere/doc/trunk/doc/index.wiki for =
reference.

I believe so, yes.

Thanks!
