RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description of problem:

Update the glusterfs client rpms at RHEL 8.4 to higher rebased version available at RHGS

Reasons for request:

The glusterfs native client is being re-based/refreshed at every RHEL minor release as it's fast-changing and typically has a lot of stability fixes, performance and other enhancements every 6 - 7 months that we like to deliver to our customers.

It is also recommended that the RHGS servers and clients stay at the same versions, and this requires the glusterfs native client at RHEL to be regularly updated.

The RHGS server is being rebased to a higher upstream version (glusterfs-6.0) at RHGS 3.5.3 release, and so the glusterfs client at RHEL8 needs to be updated to the same rebased version.

If we do not do this, the glusterfs client in RHEL will get very stale and will generate un-needed escalations and support issues. This process has been followed for the past years with great success delivering the latest and greatest to our customers. This way we also avoid re-base requests during z-streams which is always an exception.

Since the problem described in this bug report should be
resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a
resolution of ERRATA.
