5 Storage pool type: `glusterfs`
7 GlusterFS is a salable network file system. The system uses a modular
8 design, runs on commodity hardware, and can provide a highly available
9 enterprise storage at low costs. Such system is capable of scaling to
10 several petabytes, and can handle thousands of clients.
12 NOTE: After a node/brick crash, GlusterFS does a full 'rsync' to make
13 sure data is consistent. This can take a very long time with large
14 files, so this backend is not suitable to store large VM images.
19 The backend supports all common storage properties, and adds the
20 following GlusterFS specific options:
24 GlusterFS volfile server IP or DNS name.
28 Backup volfile server IP or DNS name.
36 GlusterFS transport: `tcp`, `unix` or `rdma`
39 .Configuration Example ('/etc/pve/storage.cfg')
48 File naming conventions
49 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
51 The directory layout and the file naming conventions are inhertited
52 from the `dir` backend.
57 The storage provides a file level interface, but no native
58 snapshot/clone implementation.
