<div>2/ The documentation is scarce and lots of information
are really hard to find. I'm new to this project but I
spent countless time trying to figure out what
options/directives I could use in
/etc/glusterfs/glusterd.vol without much success! There's
no place to list every available option and in what
context and/or configuration file it can be used! I found
about "bind-address" by luck searching for other things
:-) Something as complex as GlusterFS should have at least
full documentation. I had to look at the source code to
see what options could be used by "glusterfs" like the
--remote-host mentioned in various places but properly
documented nowhere :-(<br>

I'll just address this one point in this email because it's such an
important one. This is not just an open-source project because some
company's developing a product and lets you have it for free, this
is an open-source <b>project</b>. We, the members of the community,
are as responsible for that problem as the folks that know how to
write in C; perhaps even more so. <br>
<br>
I implore you to add your skills to improving the documentation. You
have the ability to see the documentation from a completely
different perspective from the folks that wrote the code. They may
not have documented --remote-host because they perhaps added it for
an internal reason and didn't expect users to use it. By looking at
it from a different perspective, you may see a need for
documentation and have the ability to implement it.<br>
