[[https://www.gluster.org/|GlusterFS]] is a free software parallel distributed file system, capable of scaling to several petabytes.

%%GlusterFS%% is a network/cluster filesystem. %%GlusterFS%% package comes with two components, a server and a client. The storage server (or each in a cluster) runs glusterfsd and the clients use mount command or glusterfs client to mount the exported filesystem. Storage can be kept scaling beyond petabytes as demand increases.

To mount %%GlusterFS%% file systems, the client computers need FUSE support in the kernel. Servers can run on any node, without any extra prerequisites. As of date, %%GlusterFS%% server is tested on Linux, %%FreeBSD%% and Opensolaris, and client runs on only Linux machines.

%%GlusterFS%% is one of the few projects which supports different types of communication transports like TCP/IP, InfiniBand VAPI/Verbs, Sockets Direct Protocol and Unix domain sockets.
