Name

GlusterFS - clustered file system

Synopsis

glusterfs [options] [mountpoint]

Description

GlusterFS is a clustered file system, capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP and interconnect into one large parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hardware, such as x86-64 server with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.

GlusterFS is fully POSIX compliant file system. On client side, it has dependency on FUSE package, on server side, it works seemlessly on different operating systems. Currently supported on GNU/Linux and Solaris.
