Re: [Gluster-devel] GlusterFS 3.0pre1 (Whats in 3.0)

Gordan,

   Recent RHEL and CentOS kernel update of -164 patch set has included fuse into 
   there  rpms.  ABI version in 2.6.18-164 is 7.10 for fuse. This has been a phenominal
   improvement as the ABI version even till fuse-2.7.4glfs11 was 7.8. So pretty much 
   with new kernel update its pretty much dependency free :)

Regards

Detection is based on the ABI version the fuse kernel module exports.
Essentially it is detecting the feature and does not care about what
the kernel module version is.
