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).
