<title>GlusterFS driver</title>
<para>GlusterFS is an open-source scalable distributed file system
that is able to grow to petabytes and beyond in size. More
information can be found on <link

homepage</link>.</para>
<para>This driver enables use of GlusterFS in a similar fashion as
the NFS driver. It supports basic volume operations, and like
NFS, does not support snapshot/clone.</para>
<note>
<para>You must use a Linux kernel of version 3.4 or greater
(or version 2.6.32 or greater in Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 6.3+) when
working with Gluster-based volumes. See <link
