Where is this project going? #903
Comments
You have answered you own question, haven't you? |

Migrated all my data to moosefs (free version) - losing the ec modes was a pita, but a supported live project is much more important. And the storage classes are really interesting, potentially very useful. Performance is excellent. |

Thanks @Blackpaw Taking a second look at the website, last year they announced the 3.13 rc version https://lizardfs.com/lizardfs-3-13-rc3-arrived But I don't see that tag in code. Strange. I do see some commits straight to master coming along. I'm actually looking for the simplest distributed fs around, even simpler to moosefs. This looks like it, will give it a chance, might as well contribute a bit if I can. But something seems odd with the project, besides simply unmaintained. |

The project has been acquired by different companies over time, with the one before last not really nurturing the project like it needed. Also they hadn't integrated with GitHub for releases and such which is why you don't see tags. I think GitHub was more of a mirror for their internal codebase. A while ago the project got bought by a new company who planned to "make LizardFS great again ( see the udate on the website ), and I know they were working on resurrecting the project after it had gone into disrepair under the previous ownership, but it seems like they are still having a hard time getting it back going. |

@tomyo here's some info about RC3: https://github.com/lizardfs/lizardfs/releases/tag/3.13.0-rc3 We never stopped working on the project, though the truth is – we've been a bit swamped with some huge customers' projects. Now getting back to making the stable 3.13 release happen :) Happy to hear, that you find LFS easy-to-use, like many of our customers and users. Any kind of contribution will be much appreciated, thanks for the willingness to be a part of LFS! If you need some help with deploying LFS, you can reach out to me at anton.borecki@lizardfs.com – we will be more than happy to assist you! |

Great to hear @antonborecki! I totally understand being swamped. :) Keep at it. I know you guys have got the passion for a quality filesystem. 😃 👍 |

You won't get simpler than MooseFS architecturally. LizardFS is a fork of
it anyway, albeit mostly new code now.
Happy to see some activity though. Been a fan of Moose for a long time,
mostly been a fan of Lizard too.

@tomyo thank you for your questions we will keep it Open until our next release this year.
@onlyjob, @Zorlin, @Blackpaw - please be patient with us - we are struggling to make the project strong again. If any of you would like to have a direct meeting with me or our team please email me about it. We can also keep public discusions here as long as they are constructive and in the spirit of pushing forward the project. Thanks, @zicklag for your comment - we are really close to having Jenkins green again: |

@aNeutrino I'm sorry if I came across as negative. I am a fan of Lizard. I haven't always liked every action, but everyone makes mistakes. I'll happily set up a meeting. |
|
@aNeutrino thanks for the reply, and I'm glad to see you guys are still backing it, and I understand the pressures of large projects :( Certaintly rooting for you and lizardfs to succeed and progress. If you need any testing done, would be happy to help out - I have access to a decent sized computing cluster and its easy for me to spin up multinode testing environments. nb. Quite comfortable with building from git. |

I think it's worth saying... Over and over if necessary... DFS is hard to
do well, and we should be so lucky to have multiple good projects. MooseFS
is there right now, LizardFS is probably closer than most people think. I
genuinely hope it gets there.

@aNeutrino tks for your replay, https://dev.lizardfs.com/jenkins/ info . |
Hi!
These project seems great, but outdated (last release 3 years ago), and without much development activity.
What's the current status of the project?
What does it need?
Thank you.
