| I love building new stuff and hacking my way through to solve a really messy problem. Be it any Hackathon, or a Tech Meetup in New Delhi, You’re bound to find me in almost all the events. I really love spending my time at 24 or 48 hour long Hackathons, building or coding the weekend away. So however complex the code base maybe, I’ll definitely work around to solve my problem. | | I love building new stuff and hacking my way through to solve a really messy problem.

| === Proposal Description ===
| |
| | |
| === An overview of your proposal ===
| |
| Writing 'glusterfsiostat', a nfsiostat clone for GlusterFS.
| |
| | |
| === The need you believe it fulfills ===
| |
| The goal of the project is to write a utility which would gather statistics similar to nfsiostat, from GlusterFS mounts.It will allow an admin to monitor the read and write usage on Gluster mounted file systems.
| |
| | |
| === Any relevant experience you have ===
| |
| I have quite good experience in coding on C and C++ on projects in my high school and college. I can work very well with Linux based Development. | |
| === How do you intend to implement your proposal ===
| |
| By learning more about GlusterFS translators and using the io-stats translator to measure the latencies of every file-operation that goes through a given mount. This utility will give periodic stats on all GlusterFS mounts depending on the options specified by the user.
| |
| | |
| === Final deliverable of the proposal at the end of the period ===
| |
| The final deliverable will be the utility glusterfsiostat that can be used by admins to gather stats.
| |
| | |
| === A rough timeline for your progress ===
