1 | GlusterFS Backend |
| 2 | ----------------- | |
| 3 | ||
| 4 | Storage pool type: `glusterfs` | |
| 5 | ||
| 6 | GlusterFS is a salable network file system. The system uses a modular | |
| 7 | design, runs on commodity hardware, and can provide a highly available | |
| 8 | enterprise storage at low costs. Such system is capable of scaling to | |
| 9 | several petabytes, and can handle thousands of clients. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | NOTE: After a node/brick crash, GlusterFS does a full 'rsync' to make | |
| 12 | sure data is consistent. This can take a very long time with large | |
| 13 | files, so this backend is not suitable to store large VM images. | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | Configuration | |
| 16 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 17 | ||
| 18 | The backend supports all common storage properties, and adds the | |
| 19 | following GlusterFS specific options: | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | `server`:: | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | GlusterFS volfile server IP or DNS name. | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | `server2`:: | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | Backup volfile server IP or DNS name. | |
| 28 | ||
| 29 | `volume`:: | |
| 30 | ||
| 31 | GlusterFS Volume. | |
| 32 | ||
| 33 | `transport`:: | |
| 34 | ||
| 35 | GlusterFS transport: `tcp`, `unix` or `rdma` | |
| 36 | ||

| 48 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 49 | ||
| 50 | The directory layout and the file naming conventions are inhertited | |
| 51 | from the `dir` backend. | |

| 54 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | |
| 55 | ||
| 56 | The storage provides a file level interface, but no native | |
| 57 | snapshot/clone implementation. | |
