This patch * Removes content that is covered by installation (adding group, fixing file permissions, multiple compute nodes) * Removes empty section (hypervisors) * Merges duplicate content (overview/explanation of nova.conf) * Flattens section structure, and removes "post-install config" section label that was a legacy of previous structure * Addresses outdated reference to Xen configuration info.

<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

|
<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>

|
<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
