Storage pool type: glusterfs
GlusterFS is a salable network file system. The system uses a modular design, runs on commodity hardware, and can provide a highly available enterprise storage at low costs. Such system is capable of scaling to several petabytes, and can handle thousands of clients.
|
After a node/brick crash, GlusterFS does a full rsync to make sure data is consistent. This can take a very long time with large files, so this backend is not suitable to store large VM images. |
The backend supports all common storage properties, and adds the following GlusterFS specific options:
server
GlusterFS volfile server IP or DNS name.
server2
Backup volfile server IP or DNS name.
volume
GlusterFS Volume.
transport
GlusterFS transport: tcp
, unix
or rdma
glusterfs: Gluster
server 10.2.3.4
server2 10.2.3.5
volume glustervol
content images,iso
The directory layout and the file naming conventions are inhertited
from the dir
backend.
The storage provides a file level interface, but no native snapshot/clone implementation.
