A placeholder issue to think about the current usage of CentOS Stream 8 in our environment as it is discontinued with no further updates. As of now GPFS and GlusterFS backends uses CentOS 8 based nodes.

@xhernandez Do you remember the specific dependency requirement from GPFS side for now EOL CentOS(Stream) 8?

Was it some ansible collections?

If I remember correctly, the only issue was that Storage Scale's ansible playbooks were using a deprecated feature (or something that was working differently in the version available in CentOS 9 Stream), causing the scripts to fail installation.

We can try to switch to CentOS 9 Stream to check if the newer installer has fixed the issue. I'll send a patch.

It seems there's an issue with the compilation of the GPFS' kernel module.

hosts.update: Reconfigure CentOS 8 repositories to vault
cf5261e 
CentOS Stream 8 reached EOL but our GPFS and GlusterFS environment
setup still has some dependecnies which are not yet fulfilled by
CentOS Stream 9. In case of GlusterFS it lacks few gluster-ansible
related rpms whereas GPFS is not yet ready to be compiled agianst
newer kernel versions from CentOS Stream 9.

Therefore we stick to CentOS Stream 8 till requirements are met.
See samba-in-kubernetes#102
for further developments.

As indicated above GPFS doesn't compile with recent kernel versions from CentOS Stream 9. #104 can be periodically refreshed to check for any developments with upcoming versions.

GlusterFS lacks few gluster-ansible packages on CentOS Stream 9. There is uncertainty in building those missing packages.

For the time being we are sticking to CentOS Stream 8 with repositories pointing to vault. This modification is already in place(#106).

These are now available via the usual copr repositories. #112 has been created to switch the platform for all GlusterFS related nodes to use CentOS Stream 9.
