NAME

       GlusterFS - Clustered Filesystem.

SYNOPSIS

       glusterfsd [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  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 FileSystem. On client side, it has dependency  on  FUSE
       package,  on  server side, it works seemlessly on different OSes.  (Currently supported on
       GNU/Linux, Solaris).
