Mail the patch as inline mail message to gluster-devel mailing-list with subject: [PATCH: glusterfs]. Include Changelog contents in the body and not in patch.
How do I debug GlusterFS?
GlusterFS debug/trace translator when enabled provides a very detailed log of all internal operations with a complete decoding of values. If you still can't locate the bug, you can try GNU gdb to debug GlusterFS code like any other application. GlusterFS runs entirely in user-space.
