NAME
GlusterFS - clustered file system
SYNOPSIS
glusterfs [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 and 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 file system. On client side, it has dependency on FUSE package, on server side, it works seemlessly on
different operating systems. Currently supported on GNU/Linux and Solaris.
OPTIONS
Basic options
-f, --volfile=VOLUME-FILE
File to use as VOLUME-FILE.
-l, --log-file=LOGFILE

-L, --log-level=LOGLEVEL
Logging severity. Valid options are TRACE, DEBUG, INFO, WARNING, ERROR and CRITICAL (the default is INFO).
-s, --volfile-server=SERVER
Server to get the volume from. This option overrides --volfile option.
--volfile-max-fetch-attempts=MAX-ATTEMPTS
Maximum number of connect attempts to server. This option should be provided with --volfile-server option (the default is 1).
Advanced options
--acl Mount the filesystem with POSIX ACL support.
--debug
Run in debug mode. This option sets --no-daemon, --log-level to DEBUG, and --log-file to console.
--enable-ino32=BOOL
Use 32-bit inodes when mounting to workaround application that doesn't support 64-bit inodes.
--fopen-keep-cache
Do not purge the cache on file open.
--mac-compat=BOOL
Provide stubs for attributes needed for seamless operation on Macs (the default is off).
-N, --no-daemon
Run in the foreground.
-p, --pid-file=PIDFILE
File to use as PID file.
--read-only

-S, --socket-file=SOCKFILE

--volfile-id=KEY
Key of the volume file to be fetched from the server.
--volfile-server-port=PORT
Port number of volfile server.
--volfile-server-transport=TRANSPORT
Transport type to get volume file from server (the default is tcp).
--volume-name=VOLUME-NAME
Volume name to be used for MOUNT-POINT (the default is top most volume in VOLUME-FILE).
--worm Mount the filesystem in 'worm' mode.
--xlator-option=VOLUME-NAME.OPTION=VALUE
Add/Override a translator option for a volume with the specified value.
Fuse options
--attribute-timeout=SECONDS
Set attribute timeout to SECONDS for inodes in fuse kernel module (the default is 1).
--background-qlen=N
Set fuse module's background queue length to N (the default is 64).
--congestion-threshold=N
Set fuse module's congestion threshold to N (the default is 48).
--direct-io-mode=BOOL
Enable/Disable the direct-I/O mode in fuse module (the default is enable).
--dump-fuse=PATHR
Dump fuse traffic to PATH
--entry-timeout=SECONDS
Set entry timeout to SECONDS in fuse kernel module (the default is 1).
--gid-timeout=SECONDS
Set auxilary group list timeout to SECONDS for fuse translator (the default is 0).
--negative-timeout=SECONDS
Set negative timeout to SECONDS in fuse kernel module (the default is 0).
--volfile-check
Enable strict volume file checking.
Miscellaneous Options
-?, --help
Display this help.
--usage
Display a short usage message.
-V, --version
