================
GlusterFS driver
================
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
`Gluster's homepage <http://www.gluster.org/>`_.
This driver enables the use of GlusterFS in a similar fashion as NFS.
It supports basic volume operations, including snapshot and clone.
.. note::
You must use a Linux kernel of version 3.4 or greater (or version 2.6.32
or greater in Red Hat Enterprise Linux/CentOS 6.3+) when working with
Gluster-based volumes. See `Bug 1177103 <https://bugs.launchpad.net/
nova/+bug/1177103>`_ for more information.
To use Block Storage with GlusterFS, first set the ``volume_driver`` in
``cinder.conf``:
.. code-block:: ini
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.glusterfs.GlusterfsDriver
The following table contains the configuration options supported by
the GlusterFS driver.
