    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.

       Basic options
           -f, --volfile=VOLUME-FILE

           -l, --log-file=LOGFILE
    	      File to use for logging (the default is <INSTALL-DIR>/var/log/glusterfs/<MOUNT-

           --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

    	      Do not purge the cache on file open.
    
           --mac-compat=BOOL

           -S, --socket-file=SOCKFILE
    	      File to use as unix-socket.
    
           --volfile-id=KEY

           --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
