<title>GlusterFS Driver</title>
|
|
<para>GlusterFS is an open-source scalable distributed filesystem
|
|
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 RHEL/CentOS 6.3+) when
|
|
working with Gluster-based volumes. See <link
