GlusterFS Backend
|
|
-----------------
|
|
include::attributes.txt[]
|
|
|
|
Storage pool type: `glusterfs`
|
|
|
|
GlusterFS is a salable network file system. The system uses a modular
|
|
design, runs on commodity hardware, and can provide a highly available
|
|
enterprise storage at low costs. Such system is capable of scaling to
|
|
several petabytes, and can handle thousands of clients.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: After a node/brick crash, GlusterFS does a full `rsync` to make
|
|
sure data is consistent. This can take a very long time with large
|
|
files, so this backend is not suitable to store large VM images.
|
|
|
|
Configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The backend supports all common storage properties, and adds the
|
|
following GlusterFS specific options:
|
|
|
|
`server`::
|
|
|
|
GlusterFS volfile server IP or DNS name.
|
|
|
|
`server2`::
|
|
|
|
Backup volfile server IP or DNS name.
|
|
|
|
`volume`::
|
|
|
|
GlusterFS Volume.
|
|
|
|
`transport`::
|
|
|
|
GlusterFS transport: `tcp`, `unix` or `rdma`
|
|
|
|
|
|

File naming conventions
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The directory layout and the file naming conventions are inherited
|
|
from the `dir` backend.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Storage Features
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
The storage provides a file level interface, but no native
|
|
snapshot/clone implementation.
