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  hardware  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 dif‐
       ferent OSes.  (Currently supported on GNU/Linux, Solaris).
