NAME

6       GlusterFS - Clustered Filesystem.
7

SYNOPSIS

9       glusterfsd [options] [mountpoint]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       GlusterFS  is  a  clustered  file-system  capable of scaling to several
13       peta-bytes.  It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband  RDMA
14       or  TCP/IP  interconnect  into  one large parallel network file system.
15       Storage bricks can be made of any commodity  hardware  such  as  x86-64
16       server with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.
17
18       GlusterFS  is  fully POSIX compliant FileSystem. On client side, it has
19       dependency on FUSE package, on server side, it works seemlessly on dif‐
20       ferent OSes.  (Currently supported on GNU/Linux, Solaris).
