Re: [Gluster-devel] 2.0.0 Finally Happened?

Maybe, but the HDFS FUSE project, which actually lets you mount HDFS like 
any other filesystem (without going through some web interface or a 
special "shell"), claims not to support permissions yet on their homepage.

If you're looking for something that you can treat like an ordinary POSIX 
filesystem, HDFS doesn't currently look like it.

Thanks,

Brent
