NAME
       GlusterFS - Clustered Filesystem.

SYNOPSIS
       glusterfsd [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 interconnect into one
       large  parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any commodity hard‐
       ware such as x86-64 server with SATA-II RAID and Infiniband HBA.

       GlusterFS is fully POSIX compliant FileSystem. On client side, it  has  dependency  on
       FUSE  package, on server side, it works seemlessly on different OSes.  (Currently sup‐
       ported on GNU/Linux, Solaris).
