+* Authentication is provided by two modules addr and login. Login based authentication uses username/password from client for authentication. Each module returns either ACCEPT, REJCET or DONT_CARE. DONT_CARE is returned if the input authentication information to the module is not concerned to its working. The theory behind authentication is that "none of the auth modules should return REJECT and atleast one of them should return ACCEPT"
+
+* Currently all the authentication related information is passed un-encrypted over the network from client to server.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* options provided in protocol/client:
+ * for username/password based authentication:
+ option username <username>
+ option password <password>
+ * client can have only one set of username/password
+ * for addr based authentication:
+ * no options required in protocol/client. Client has to bind to privileged port (port < 1024 ) which means the process in which protocol/client is loaded has to be run as root.
+
+----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+* options provided in protocol/server:
+ * for username/password based authentication:

+ option auth.addr.<brick>.reject [comma seperated list of ip-addresses/unix-paths from which clients are not allowed to connect to volume <brick>]
+ * negation operator '!' is used to invert the sense of matching.
+ Eg., option auth.addr.brick.allow !a.b.c.d #do not allow client from a.b.c.d to connect to volume brick
+ option auth.addr.brick.reject !w.x.y.z #allow client from w.x.y.z to connect to volume brick

+Introduction
+============
+* booster is a LD_PRELOADable library which boosts read/write performance by bypassing fuse for
+ read() and write() calls.
+
+Requirements
+============
+* fetch volfile from glusterfs.
+* identify whether multiple files are from the same mount point. If so, use only one context.
+
+Design
+======
+* for a getxattr, along with other attributes, fuse returns following attributes.
+ * contents of client volume-file.
+ * mount point.
+
+* LD_PRELOADed booster.so maintains an hash table storing mount-points and libglusterfsclient handles
+ so that handles are reused for files from same mount point.
+
+* it also maintains a fdtable. fdtable maps the fd (integer) returned to application to fd (pointer to fd struct)
+ used by libglusterfsclient. application is returned the same fd as the one returned from libc apis.
+
+* During fork, these tables are overwritten to enable creation of fresh glusterfs context in child.
+
+Working
+=======
+* application willing to use booster LD_PRELOADs booster.so which is a wrapper library implementing
+ open, read and write.
+
+* application should specify the path to logfile through the environment variable GLFS_BOOSTER_LOGFILE. If
+ not specified, logging is done to /dev/stderr.
+
+* open call does,
+ * real_open on the file.
+ * fgetxattr(fd).
+ * store the volume-file content got in the dictionary to a temparory file.
+ * look in the hashtable for the mount-point, if already present get the libglusterfsclient handle from the
+ hashtable. Otherwise get a new handle from libglusterfsclient (be careful about mount point not present in
+ the hashtable and multiple glusterfs_inits running simultaneously for the same mount-point there by using
+ multiple handles for the same mount point).
+ * real_close (fd).
+ * delete temporary volume-volfile.
+ * glusterfs_open (handle, path, mode).
+ * store the fd returned by glusterfs_open in the fdtable at the same index as the fd returned by real_open.
+ * return the index as fd.
+
+* read/write calls do,
+ * get the libglusterfsclient fd from fdtable.
+ * if found use glusterfs_read/glusterfs_write, else use real_read/real_write.
+
+* close call does,
+ * remove the fd from the fdtable.
+
+* other calls use real_calls.

+\section*{$\bullet$ Structure definitions should have a comment per member}
+
+Every member in a structure definition must have a comment about its
+purpose. The comment should be descriptive without being overly verbose.
+
+\vspace{2ex}
+\textsl{Bad}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ gf_lock_t lock; /* lock */
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\textsl{Good}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ DBTYPE access_mode; /* access mode for accessing
+ * the databases, can be
+ * DB_HASH, DB_BTREE
+ * (option access-mode <mode>)
+ */
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Declare all variables at the beginning of the function}
+All local variables in a function must be declared immediately after the
+opening brace. This makes it easy to keep track of memory that needs to be freed
+during exit. It also helps debugging, since gdb cannot handle variables
+declared inside loops or other such blocks.
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Always initialize local variables}
+Every local variable should be initialized to a sensible default value
+at the point of its declaration. All pointers should be initialized to NULL,
+and all integers should be zero or (if it makes sense) an error value.
+
+\vspace{2ex}
+
+\textsl{Good}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ int ret = 0;
+ char *databuf = NULL;
+ int _fd = -1;
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Initialization should always be done with a constant value}
+Never use a non-constant expression as the initialization value for a variable.
+
+\vspace{2ex}
+
+\textsl{Bad}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ pid_t pid = frame->root->pid;
+ char *databuf = malloc (1024);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Validate all arguments to a function}
+All pointer arguments to a function must be checked for \texttt{NULL}.
+A macro named \texttt{VALIDATE} (in \texttt{common-utils.h})
+takes one argument, and if it is \texttt{NULL}, writes a log message and
+jumps to a label called \texttt{err} after setting op\_ret and op\_errno
+appropriately. It is recommended to use this template.
+
+\vspace{2ex}
+
+\textsl{Good}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ VALIDATE(frame);
+ VALIDATE(this);
+ VALIDATE(inode);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Never rely on precedence of operators}
+Never write code that relies on the precedence of operators to execute
+correctly. Such code can be hard to read and someone else might not
+know the precedence of operators as accurately as you do.
+\vspace{2ex}
+
+\textsl{Bad}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ if (op_ret == -1 && errno != ENOENT)
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\textsl{Good}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ if ((op_ret == -1) && (errno != ENOENT))
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Use exactly matching types}
+Use a variable of the exact type declared in the manual to hold the
+return value of a function. Do not use an ``equivalent'' type.
+
+\vspace{2ex}
+
+\textsl{Bad}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ int len = strlen (path);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\textsl{Good}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ size_t len = strlen (path);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Never write code such as \texttt{foo->bar->baz}; check every pointer}
+Do not write code that blindly follows a chain of pointer
+references. Any pointer in the chain may be \texttt{NULL} and thus
+cause a crash. Verify that each pointer is non-null before following
+it.
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Check return value of all functions and system calls}
+The return value of all system calls and API functions must be checked
+for success or failure.
+
+\vspace{2ex}
+\textsl{Bad}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ close (fd);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\textsl{Good}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ op_ret = close (_fd);
+ if (op_ret == -1) {
+ gf_log (this->name, GF_LOG_ERROR,
+ "close on file %s failed (%s)", real_path,
+ strerror (errno));
+ op_errno = errno;
+ goto out;
+ }
+\end{verbatim}
+
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Gracefully handle failure of malloc}
+GlusterFS should never crash or exit due to lack of memory. If a
+memory allocation fails, the call should be unwound and an error
+returned to the user.
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Use result args and reserve the return value to indicate success or failure}
+The return value of every functions must indicate success or failure (unless
+it is impossible for the function to fail --- e.g., boolean functions). If
+the function needs to return additional data, it must be returned using a
+result (pointer) argument.
+
+\vspace{2ex}
+\textsl{Bad}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ int32_t dict_get_int32 (dict_t *this, char *key);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\textsl{Good}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ int dict_get_int32 (dict_t *this, char *key, int32_t *val);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Always use the `n' versions of string functions}
+Unless impossible, use the length-limited versions of the string functions.
+
+\vspace{2ex}
+\textsl{Bad}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ strcpy (entry_path, real_path);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\textsl{Good}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ strncpy (entry_path, real_path, entry_path_len);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ No dead or commented code}
+There must be no dead code (code to which control can never be passed) or
+commented out code in the codebase.
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Only one unwind and return per function}
+There must be only one exit out of a function. \texttt{UNWIND} and return
+should happen at only point in the function.
+
+\section*{$\bullet$ Keep functions small}
+Try to keep functions small. Two to three screenfulls (80 lines per screen) is
+considered a reasonable limit. If a function is very long, try splitting it
+into many little helper functions.
+
+\vspace{2ex}
+\textsl{Example for a helper function}:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ static int
+ same_owner (posix_lock_t *l1, posix_lock_t *l2)
+ {
+ return ((l1->client_pid == l2->client_pid) &&
+ (l1->transport == l2->transport));
+ }
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{Style issues}
+
+\subsection*{Brace placement}
+Use K\&R/Linux style of brace placement for blocks.
+
+\textsl{Example}:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ int some_function (...)
+ {
+ if (...) {
+ /* ... */
+ } else if (...) {
+ /* ... */
+ } else {
+ /* ... */
+ }
+
+ do {
+ /* ... */
+ } while (cond);
+ }
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsection*{Indentation}
+Use \textbf{eight} spaces for indenting blocks. Ensure that your
+file contains only spaces and not tab characters. You can do this
+in Emacs by selecting the entire file (\texttt{C-x h}) and
+running \texttt{M-x untabify}.
+
+To make Emacs indent lines automatically by eight spaces, add this
+line to your \texttt{.emacs}:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ (add-hook 'c-mode-hook (lambda () (c-set-style "linux")))
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsection*{Comments}
+Write a comment before every function describing its purpose (one-line),
+its arguments, and its return value. Mention whether it is an internal
+function or an exported function.
+
+Write a comment before every structure describing its purpose, and
+write comments about each of its members.
+
+Follow the style shown below for comments, since such comments
+can then be automatically extracted by doxygen to generate
+documentation.
+
+\textsl{Example}:
+\begin{verbatim}
+/**
+ * hash_name -hash function for filenames
+ * @par: parent inode number
+ * @name: basename of inode
+ * @mod: number of buckets in the hashtable
+ *
+ * @return: success: bucket number
+ * failure: -1
+ *
+ * Not for external use.
+ */
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\subsection*{Indicating critical sections}
+To clearly show regions of code which execute with locks held, use
+the following format:
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+ pthread_mutex_lock (&mutex);
+ {
+ /* code */
+ }
+ pthread_mutex_unlock (&mutex);
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\section*{A skeleton fop function}
+This is the recommended template for any fop. In the beginning come
+the initializations. After that, the `success' control flow should be
+linear. Any error conditions should cause a \texttt{goto} to a single
+point, \texttt{out}. At that point, the code should detect the error
+that has occured and do appropriate cleanup.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+int32_t
+sample_fop (call_frame_t *frame,
+ xlator_t *this,
+ ...)
+{
+ char * var1 = NULL;
+ int32_t op_ret = -1;
+ int32_t op_errno = 0;
+ DIR * dir = NULL;
+ struct posix_fd * pfd = NULL;
+
+ VALIDATE_OR_GOTO (frame, out);
+ VALIDATE_OR_GOTO (this, out);
+
+ /* other validations */
+
+ dir = opendir (...);
+
+ if (dir == NULL) {
+ op_errno = errno;
+ gf_log (this->name, GF_LOG_ERROR,
+ "opendir failed on %s (%s)", loc->path,
+ strerror (op_errno));
+ goto out;
+ }
+
+ /* another system call */
+ if (...) {
+ op_errno = ENOMEM;
+ gf_log (this->name, GF_LOG_ERROR,
+ "out of memory :(");
+ goto out;
+ }
+
+ /* ... */
+
+ out:
+ if (op_ret == -1) {
+
+ /* check for all the cleanup that needs to be
+ done */
+
+ if (dir) {
+ closedir (dir);
+ dir = NULL;
+ }
+
+ if (pfd) {
+ if (pfd->path)
+ FREE (pfd->path);
+ FREE (pfd);
+ pfd = NULL;
+ }
+ }
+
+ STACK_UNWIND (frame, op_ret, op_errno, fd);
+ return 0;
+}

+GlusterFS's translator feature is very flexible and there are quite a lot of ways one
+can configure their filesystem to behave like.
+
+Volume Specification is a way in which GlusterFS understands how it has to work, based
+on what is written there.
+
+Going through the following URLs may give you more idea about all these.

+.SH NAME
+GlusterFS \- Clustered Filesystem.
+.SH SYNOPSYS
+.B glusterfs
+.I [options] [mountpoint]
+.PP
+.SH 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 different OSes. (Currently supported on GNU/Linux, Mac OSX, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris).
+.SH OPTIONS
+.PP

+ HOW TO ADD A NEW FOP TO GlusterFS
+ =================================
+
+Steps to be followed when adding a new FOP to GlusterFS:
+
+1. Edit glusterfs.h and add a GF_FOP_* constant.
+
+2. Edit xlator.[ch] and:
+ 2a. add the new prototype for fop and callback.
+ 2b. edit xlator_fops structure.
+
+3. Edit xlator.c and add to fill_defaults.
+
+4. Edit protocol.h and add struct necessary for the new FOP.
+
+5. Edit defaults.[ch] and provide default implementation.
+
+6. Edit call-stub.[ch] and provide stub implementation.
+
+7. Edit common-utils.c and add to gf_global_variable_init().
+
+8. Edit client-protocol and add your FOP.
+
+9. Edit server-protocol and add your FOP.
+
+10. Implement your FOP in any translator for which the default implementation
+ is not sufficient.

+* How does file translates to key/value pair?
+---------------------------------------------
+
+ in bdb a file is identified by key (obtained by taking basename() of the path of
+the file) and file contents are stored as value corresponding to the key in database
+file (defaults to glusterfs_storage.db under dirname() directory).
+
+* symlinks, directories
+-----------------------
+
+ symlinks and directories are stored as is.
+
+* db (database) files
+---------------------
+
+ every directory, including root directory, contains a database file called
+glusterfs_storage.db. all the regular files contained in the directory are stored
+as key/value pair inside the glusterfs_storage.db.
+
+* internal data cache
+---------------------
+
+ db does not provide a way to find out the size of the value corresponding to a key.
+so, bdb makes DB->get() call for key and takes the length of the value returned.
+since DB->get() also returns file contents for key, bdb maintains an internal cache and
+stores the file contents in the cache.
+ every directory maintains a seperate cache.
+
+* inode number transformation
+-----------------------------
+
+ bdb allocates a inode number to each file and directory on its own. bdb maintains a
+global counter and increments it after allocating inode number for each file
+(regular, symlink or directory). NOTE: bdb does not guarantee persistent inode numbers.
+
+* checkpoint thread
+-------------------
+
+ bdb creates a checkpoint thread at the time of init(). checkpoint thread does a
+periodic checkpoint on the DB_ENV. checkpoint is the mechanism, provided by db, to
+forcefully commit the logged transactions to the storage.
+
+NOTES ABOUT FOPS:
+-----------------
+
+lookup() -
+ 1> do lstat() on the path, if lstat fails, we assume that the file being looked up
+ is either a regular file or doesn't exist.
+ 2> lookup in the DB of parent directory for key corresponding to path. if key exists,
+ return key, with.
+ NOTE: 'struct stat' stat()ed from DB file is used as a container for 'struct stat'
+ of the regular file. st_ino, st_size, st_blocks are updated with file's values.
+
+readv() -
+ 1> do a lookup in bctx cache. if successful, return the requested data from cache.
+ 2> if cache missed, do a DB->get() the entire file content and insert to cache.
+
+writev():
+ 1> flush any cached content of this file.
+ 2> do a DB->put(), with DB_DBT_PARTIAL flag.
+ NOTE: DB_DBT_PARTIAL is used to do partial update of a value in DB.
+
+readdir():
+ 1> regular readdir() in a loop, and vomit all DB_ENV log files and DB files that
+ we encounter.
+ 2> if the readdir() buffer still has space, open a DB cursor and do a sequential
+ DBC->get() to fill the reaadir buffer.

+creating a call stub and pausing a call
+---------------------------------------
+libglusterfs provides seperate API to pause each of the fop. parameters to each API is
+@frame - call frame which has to be used to resume the call at call_resume().
+@fn - procedure to call during call_resume().
+ NOTE: @fn should exactly take the same type and number of parameters that
+ the corresponding regular fop takes.
+rest will be the regular parameters to corresponding fop.
+
+NOTE: @frame can never be NULL. fop_<operation>_stub() fails with errno
+ set to EINVAL, if @frame is NULL. also wherever @loc is applicable,
+ @loc cannot be NULL.

+\chapter{Major components}
+\section{libglusterfs}
+\texttt{libglusterfs} contains supporting code used by all the other components.
+The important files here are:
+
+\texttt{dict.c}: This is an implementation of a serializable dictionary type. It is
+used by the protocol code to send requests and replies. It is also used to pass options
+to translators.
+
+\texttt{logging.c}: This is a thread-safe logging library. The log messages go to a
+file (default \texttt{/usr/local/var/log/glusterfs/*}).
+
+\texttt{protocol.c}: This file implements the GlusterFS on-the-wire
+protocol. The protocol itself is a simple ASCII protocol, designed to
+be easy to parse and be human readable.
+
+A sample GlusterFS protocol block looks like this:
+\begin{verbatim}
+ Block Start header
+ 0000000000000023 callid
+ 00000001 type
+ 00000016 op
+ xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx human-readable name
+ 00000000000000000000000000000ac3 block size
+ <...> block
+ Block End
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\texttt{stack.h}: This file defines the \texttt{STACK\_WIND} and
+\texttt{STACK\_UNWIND} macros which are used to implement the parallel
+stack that is maintained for inter-xlator calls. See the \textsl{Taking control
+of the stack} section below for more details.
+
+\texttt{spec.y}: This contains the Yacc grammar for the GlusterFS
+specification file, and the parsing code.

+The \texttt{posix} xlator is the one which actually makes calls to the
+on-disk filesystem. Currently this is the only storage xlator available. However,
+plans to develop other storage xlators, such as one for Amazon's S3 service, are
+on the roadmap.
+
+\chapter{Writing a simple xlator}
+\noindent
+In this section we're going to write a rot13 xlator. ``Rot13'' is a
+simple substitution cipher which obscures a text by replacing each
+letter with the letter thirteen places down the alphabet. So `a' (0)
+would become `n' (12), `b' would be 'm', and so on. Rot13 applied to
+a piece of ciphertext yields the plaintext again, because rot13 is its
+own inverse, since:
+
+\[
+x_c = x + 13\; (mod\; 26)
+\]
+\[
+x_c + 13\; (mod\; 26) = x + 13 + 13\; (mod\; 26) = x
+\]
+
+First we include the requisite headers.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+#include <ctype.h>
+#include <sys/uio.h>
+
+#include "glusterfs.h"
+#include "xlator.h"
+#include "logging.h"
+
+/*
+ * This is a rot13 ``encryption'' xlator. It rot13's data when
+ * writing to disk and rot13's it back when reading it.
+ * This xlator is meant as an example, not for production
+ * use ;) (hence no error-checking)
+ */
+
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Then we write the rot13 function itself. For simplicity, we only transform lower case
+letters. Any other byte is passed through as it is.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+/* We only handle lower case letters for simplicity */
+static void
+rot13 (char *buf, int len)
+{
+ int i;
+ for (i = 0; i < len; i++) {
+ if (isalpha (buf[i]))
+ buf[i] = (buf[i] - 'a' + 13) % 26;
+ else if (buf[i] <= 26)
+ buf[i] = (buf[i] + 13) % 26 + 'a';
+ }
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Next comes a utility function whose purpose will be clear after looking at the code
+below.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+static void
+rot13_iovec (struct iovec *vector, int count)
+{
+ int i;
+ for (i = 0; i < count; i++) {
+ rot13 (vector[i].iov_base, vector[i].iov_len);
+ }
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+static int32_t
+rot13_readv_cbk (call_frame_t *frame,
+ call_frame_t *prev_frame,
+ xlator_t *this,
+ int32_t op_ret,
+ int32_t op_errno,
+ struct iovec *vector,
+ int32_t count)
+{
+ rot13_iovec (vector, count);
+
+ STACK_UNWIND (frame, op_ret, op_errno, vector, count);
+ return 0;
+}
+
+static int32_t
+rot13_readv (call_frame_t *frame,
+ xlator_t *this,
+ dict_t *ctx,
+ size_t size,
+ off_t offset)
+{
+ STACK_WIND (frame,
+ rot13_readv_cbk,
+ FIRST_CHILD (this),
+ FIRST_CHILD (this)->fops->readv,
+ ctx, size, offset);
+ return 0;
+}
+
+static int32_t
+rot13_writev_cbk (call_frame_t *frame,
+ call_frame_t *prev_frame,
+ xlator_t *this,
+ int32_t op_ret,
+ int32_t op_errno)
+{
+ STACK_UNWIND (frame, op_ret, op_errno);
+ return 0;
+}
+
+static int32_t
+rot13_writev (call_frame_t *frame,
+ xlator_t *this,
+ dict_t *ctx,
+ struct iovec *vector,
+ int32_t count,
+ off_t offset)
+{
+ rot13_iovec (vector, count);
+
+ STACK_WIND (frame,
+ rot13_writev_cbk,
+ FIRST_CHILD (this),
+ FIRST_CHILD (this)->fops->writev,
+ ctx, vector, count, offset);
+ return 0;
+}
+
+\end{verbatim}
+
+Every xlator must define two functions and two external symbols. The functions are
+\texttt{init} and \texttt{fini}, and the symbols are \texttt{fops} and \texttt{mops}.
+The \texttt{init} function is called when the xlator is loaded by GlusterFS, and
+contains code for the xlator to initialize itself. Note that if an xlator is present
+multiple times in the spec tree, the \texttt{init} function will be called each time
+the xlator is loaded.
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+int32_t
+init (xlator_t *this)
+{
+ if (!this->children) {
+ gf_log ("rot13", GF_LOG_ERROR,
+ "FATAL: rot13 should have exactly one child");
+ return -1;
+ }
+
+ gf_log ("rot13", GF_LOG_DEBUG, "rot13 xlator loaded");
+ return 0;
+}
+\end{verbatim}
+
+\begin{verbatim}
+
+void
+fini (xlator_t *this)
+{
+ return;
+}
+
+struct xlator_fops fops = {
+ .readv = rot13_readv,
+ .writev = rot13_writev
+};
+
+struct xlator_mops mops = {
+};
+
+\end{verbatim}
+

+---------------
+* cluster/replicate
+---------------
+
+Before understanding replicate, one must understand two internal FOPs:
+
+GF_FILE_LK:
+ This is exactly like fcntl(2) locking, except the locks are in a
+ separate domain from locks held by applications.
+
+GF_DIR_LK (loc_t *loc, char *basename):
+ This allows one to lock a name under a directory. For example,
+ to lock /mnt/glusterfs/foo, one would use the call:
+
+ GF_DIR_LK ({loc_t for "/mnt/glusterfs"}, "foo")
+
+ If one wishes to lock *all* the names under a particular directory,
+ supply the basename argument as NULL.
+
+ The locks can either be read locks or write locks; consult the
+ function prototype for more details.
+
+Both these operations are implemented by the features/locks (earlier
+known as posix-locks) translator.
+
+--------------
+* Basic design
+--------------
+
+All FOPs can be classified into four major groups:
+
+ - inode-read
+ Operations that read an inode's data (file contents) or metadata (perms, etc.).
+
+ access, getxattr, fstat, readlink, readv, stat.
+
+ - inode-write
+ Operations that modify an inode's data or metadata.
+
+ chmod, chown, truncate, writev, utimens.
+
+ - dir-read
+ Operations that read a directory's contents or metadata.
+
+ readdir, getdents, checksum.
+
+ - dir-write
+ Operations that modify a directory's contents or metadata.
+
+ create, link, mkdir, mknod, rename, rmdir, symlink, unlink.
+
+ Some of these make a subgroup in that they modify *two* different entries:
+ link, rename, symlink.
+
+ - Others
+ Other operations.
+
+ flush, lookup, open, opendir, statfs.
+
+------------
+* Algorithms
+------------
+
+Each of the four major groups has its own algorithm:
+
+ ----------------------
+ - inode-read, dir-read
+ ----------------------
+
+ = Send a request to the first child that is up:
+ - if it fails:
+ try the next available child
+ - if we have exhausted all children:
+ return failure
+
+ -------------
+ - inode-write
+ -------------
+
+ All operations are done in parallel unless specified otherwise.
+
+ (1) Send a GF_FILE_LK request on all children for a write lock on
+ the appropriate region
+ (for metadata operations: entire file (0, 0)
+ for writev: (offset, offset+size of buffer))
+
+ - If a lock request fails on a child:
+ unlock all children
+ try to acquire a blocking lock (F_SETLKW) on each child, serially.
+
+ If this fails (due to ENOTCONN or EINVAL):
+ Consider this child as dead for rest of transaction.
+
+ (2) Mark all children as "pending" on all (alive) children
+ (see below for meaning of "pending").
+
+ - If it fails on any child:
+ mark it as dead (in transaction local state).
+
+ (3) Perform operation on all (alive) children.
+
+ - If it fails on any child:
+ mark it as dead (in transaction local state).
+
+ (4) Unmark all successful children as not "pending" on all nodes.
+
+ (5) Unlock region on all (alive) children.
+
+ -----------
+ - dir-write
+ -----------
+
+ The algorithm for dir-write is same as above except instead of holding
+ GF_FILE_LK locks we hold a GF_DIR_LK lock on the name being operated upon.
+ In case of link-type calls, we hold locks on both the operand names.
+
+-----------
+* "pending"
+-----------
+
+ The "pending" number is like a journal entry. A pending entry is an
+ array of 32-bit integers stored in network byte-order as the extended
+ attribute of an inode (which can be a directory as well).
+
+ There are three keys corresponding to three types of pending operations:
+
+ - AFR_METADATA_PENDING
+ There are some metadata operations pending on this inode (perms, ctime/mtime,
+ xattr, etc.).
+
+ - AFR_DATA_PENDING
+ There is some data pending on this inode (writev).
+
+ - AFR_ENTRY_PENDING
+ There are some directory operations pending on this directory
+ (create, unlink, etc.).
+
+-----------
+* Self heal
+-----------
+
+ - On lookup, gather extended attribute data:
+ - If entry is a regular file:
+ - If an entry is present on one child and not on others:
+ - create entry on others.
+ - If entries exist but have different metadata (perms, etc.):
+ - consider the entry with the highest AFR_METADATA_PENDING number as
+ definitive and replicate its attributes on children.
+
+ - If entry is a directory:
+ - Consider the entry with the higest AFR_ENTRY_PENDING number as
+ definitive and replicate its contents on all children.
+
+ - If any two entries have non-matching types (i.e., one is file and
+ other is directory):
+ - Announce to the user via log that a split-brain situation has been
+ detected, and do nothing.
+
+ - On open, gather extended attribute data:
+ - Consider the file with the highest AFR_DATA_PENDING number as
+ the definitive one and replicate its contents on all other
+ children.
+
+ During all self heal operations, appropriate locks must be held on all
+ regions/entries being affected.
+
+---------------
+* Inode scaling
+---------------
+
+Inode scaling is necessary because if a situation arises where:
+ - An inode number is returned for a directory (by lookup) which was
+ previously the inode number of a file (as per FUSE's table), then
+ FUSE gets horribly confused (consult a FUSE expert for more details).
+
+To avoid such a situation, we distribute the 64-bit inode space equally
+among all children of replicate.
+
+To illustrate:
+
+If c1, c2, c3 are children of replicate, they each get 1/3 of the available
+inode space:
+
+Child: c1 c2 c3 c1 c2 c3 c1 c2 c3 c1 c2 ...
+Inode number: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 ...
+
+Thus, if lookup on c1 returns an inode number "2", it is scaled to "4"
+(which is the second inode number in c1's space).
+
+This way we ensure that there is never a collision of inode numbers from
+two different children.
+
+This reduction of inode space doesn't really reduce the usability of
+replicate since even if we assume replicate has 1024 children (which would be a
+highly unusual scenario), each child still has a 54-bit inode space.
+
+2^54 ~ 1.8 * 10^16
+
+which is much larger than any real world requirement.

+basic working
+--------------
+
+ write behind is basically a translator to lie to the application that the write-requests are finished, even before it is actually finished.
+
+ on a regular translator tree without write-behind, control flow is like this:
+
+ 1. application makes a write() system call.
+ 2. VFS ==> FUSE ==> /dev/fuse.
+ 3. fuse-bridge initiates a glusterfs writev() call.
+ 4. writev() is STACK_WIND()ed upto client-protocol or storage translator.
+ 5. client-protocol, on recieving reply from server, starts STACK_UNWIND() towards the fuse-bridge.
+
+ on a translator tree with write-behind, control flow is like this:
+
+ 1. application makes a write() system call.
+ 2. VFS ==> FUSE ==> /dev/fuse.
+ 3. fuse-bridge initiates a glusterfs writev() call.
+ 4. writev() is STACK_WIND()ed upto write-behind translator.
+ 5. write-behind adds the write buffer to its internal queue and does a STACK_UNWIND() towards the fuse-bridge.
+
+ write call is completed in application's percepective. after STACK_UNWIND()ing towards the fuse-bridge, write-behind initiates a fresh writev() call to its child translator, whose replies will be consumed by write-behind itself. write-behind _doesn't_ cache the write buffer, unless 'option flush-behind on' is specified in volume specification file.
+
+windowing
+---------
+
+ write respect to write-behind, each write-buffer has three flags: 'stack_wound', 'write_behind' and 'got_reply'.
+
+ stack_wound: if set, indicates that write-behind has initiated STACK_WIND() towards child translator.
+
+ write_behind: if set, indicates that write-behind has done STACK_UNWIND() towards fuse-bridge.
+
+ got_reply: if set, indicates that write-behind has recieved reply from child translator for a writev() STACK_WIND(). a request will be destroyed by write-behind only if this flag is set.
+
+ currently pending write requests = aggregate size of requests with write_behind = 1 and got_reply = 0.
+
+ window size limits the aggregate size of currently pending write requests. once the pending requests' size has reached the window size, write-behind blocks writev() calls from fuse-bridge.
+ blocking is only from application's perspective. write-behind does STACK_WIND() to child translator straight-away, but hold behind the STACK_UNWIND() towards fuse-bridge. STACK_UNWIND() is done only once write-behind gets enough replies to accomodate for currently blocked request.
+
+flush behind
+------------
+

+How to add a new option to a given volume ?
+===========================================
+
+* Add a entry in 'struct volume_options options[]' with your key, what is
+ the type of the 'key', etc.
+
+* The 'key' and corresponding 'value' given for the same by user are validated
+ before calling init() of the translator/transport/scheduler/auth-module.
+
+* Once the complete init() is successful, user will get a warning if he has
+ given a 'key' which is not defined in these modules.

+
+This document is intended to briefly explain how the Extended Attributes on
+Darwin 10.5.x releases works
+----
+
+On Darwin other than all the normal filesystem operations, 'Finder' (like
+Explorer in Windows but a little more) keeps its information in two extended
+attributes named 'com.apple.FinderInfo' and 'com.apple.ResourceFork'. If these
+xattrs are not implemented the filesystem won't be shown on Finder, and if they
+are not implemented properly there may be issues when some of the file operations
+are done through GUI of Finder. But when a filesystem is used over mountpoint in a
+terminal, everything is fine and these xattrs are not required.
+
+Currently the way these xattrs are implemented is simple. All the xattr calls
+(getxattr, setxattr, listxattr, removexattr) are passed down to underlaying filesystem,
+most of the cases when exported FS is on MacOS X itself, these keys are supported, hence
+the fops succeed. But in the case of using exports of different OS on Darwin the issue is
+extended attribute prefix like 'com.apple.' may not be supported, hence the problem with
+Finder. To solve this issue, GlusterFS returns virtual default values to these keys, which
+works fine on most of the cases.

+ GlusterFS Porting Guide
+ -----------------------
+
+* General setup
+
+The configure script will detect the target platform for the build.
+All platform-specific CFLAGS, macro definitions should be done
+in configure.ac
+
+Platform-specific code can be written like this:
+
+#ifdef GF_DARWIN_HOST_OS
+ /* some code specific to Darwin */
+#endif
+
+* Coding guidelines
+
+In general, avoid glibc extensions. For example, nested functions don't work
+on Mac OS X. It is best to stick to C99.
+
+When using library calls and system calls, pay attention to the
+portability notes. As far as possible stick to POSIX-specified behavior.
+Do not use anything expressly permitted by the specification. For example,
+some fields in structures may be present only on certain platforms. Avoid
+use of such things.
+
+Do not pass values of constants such as F_*, O_*, errno values, etc. across
+platforms.
+
+Please refer compat-errno.h for more details about errno handling inside
+glusterfs for cross platform.
+
+* Specific issues
+
+- The argp library is available only on Linux through glibc, but for other
+ platforms glusterfs has already included argp-standalone library which will
+ statically linked during the glusterfs build.
+
+- Extended attribute calls (setxattr, listxattr, etc.) have differing prototypes
+ on different platforms. See compat.h for macro definitions to resolve this, also
+ read out the specific extended attribute documentation for your platforms.

+Overview
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+This document describes the design and usage of the replicate translator in GlusterFS.
+ This document is valid for the 1.4.x releases, and not earlier ones.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The replicate translator of GlusterFS aims to keep identical copies of a file
+ on all its subvolumes, as far as possible.
+ It tries to do this by performing all filesystem mutation operations (writing
+ data, creating files, changing ownership, etc.) on all its subvolumes in
+ such a way that if an operation succeeds on atleast one subvolume, all
+ other subvolumes can later be brought up to date.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+In the rest of the document the terms
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+subvolume
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ and
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+server
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ are used interchangeably, trusting that it will cause no confusion to the
+ reader.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section*
+Usage
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+A sample volume declaration for replicate looks like this:

+\begin_layout Standard
+This defines an replicate volume with two subvolumes, brick1, and brick2.
+ For replicate to work properly, it is essential that its subvolumes support
+\series bold
+extended attributes
+\series default
+.
+ This means that you should choose a backend filesystem that supports extended
+ attributes, like XFS, ReiserFS, or Ext3.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The storage volumes used as backend for replicate
+\emph on
+must

+\begin_layout Section*
+Design
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Read algorithm
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+All operations that do not modify the file or directory are sent to all
+ the subvolumes and the first successful reply is returned to the application.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The read() system call (reading data from a file) is an exception.
+ For read() calls, replicate tries to do load balancing by sending all reads from
+ a particular file to a particular server.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The read algorithm is also affected by the option read-subvolume; see below
+ for details.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Classes of file operations
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+replicate divides all filesystem write operations into three classes:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+
+\series bold
+data:
+\series default
+Operations that modify the contents of a file (write, truncate).
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+
+\series bold
+metadata:
+\series default
+Operations that modify attributes of a file or directory (permissions, ownership
+, etc.).
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+
+\series bold
+entry:
+\series default
+Operations that create or delete directory entries (mkdir, create, rename,
+ rmdir, unlink, etc.).
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Locking and Change Log
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+To ensure consistency across subvolumes, replicate holds a lock whenever a modificatio
+n is being made to a file or directory.
+ By default, replicate considers the first subvolume as the sole lock server.
+ However, the number of lock servers can be increased upto the total number
+ of subvolumes.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The change log is a set of extended attributes associated with files and
+ directories that replicate maintains.
+ The change log keeps track of the changes made to files and directories
+ (data, metadata, entry) so that the self-heal algorithm knows which copy
+ of a file or directory is the most recent one.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Write algorithm
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The algorithm for all write operations (data, metadata, entry) is:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Lock the file (or directory) on all of the lock servers (see options below).
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Write change log entries on all servers.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Perform the operation.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Erase change log entries.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Enumerate
+Unlock the file (or directory) on all of the lock servers.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The above algorithm is a simplified version intended for general users.
+ Please refer to the source code for the full details.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Self-Heal
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+replicate automatically tries to fix any inconsistencies it detects among different
+ copies of a file.
+ It uses information in the change log to determine which copy is the
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+correct
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ version.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Self-heal is triggered when a file or directory is first
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+accessed
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+, that is, the first time any operation is attempted on it.
+ The self-heal algorithm does the following things:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+If the entry being accessed is a directory:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+The contents of the
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+correct
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ version is replicated on all subvolumes, by deleting entries and creating
+ entries as necessary.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+If the entry being accessed is a file:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+If the file does not exist on some subvolumes, it is created.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+If there is a mismatch in the size of the file, or ownership, or permission,
+ it is fixed.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Itemize
+If the change log indicates that some copies need updating, they are updated.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Split-brain
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+It may happen that one replicate client can access only some of the servers in
+ a cluster and another replicate client can access the remaining servers.
+ Or it may happen that in a cluster of two servers, one server goes down
+ and comes back up, but the other goes down immediately.
+ Both these scenarios result in a
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+split-brain
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+In a split-brain situation, there will be two or more copies of a file,
+ all of which are
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+correct
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ in some sense.
+ replicate without manual intervention has no way of knowing what to do, since
+ it cannot consider any single copy as definitive, nor does it know of any
+ meaningful way to merge the copies.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+If replicate detects that a split-brain has happened on a file, it disallows opening
+ of that file.
+ You will have to manually resolve the conflict by deleting all but one
+ copy of the file.
+ Alternatively you can set an automatic split-brain resolution policy by
+ using the `favorite-child' option (see below).
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section*
+Translator Options
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+replicate accepts the following options:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+read-subvolume (default: none)
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The value of this option must be the name of a subvolume.
+ If given, all read operations are sent to only the specified subvolume,
+ instead of being balanced across all subvolumes.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+favorite-child (default: none)
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+The value of this option must be the name of a subvolume.
+ If given, the specified subvolume will be preferentially used in resolving
+ conflicts (
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+split-brain
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+).
+ This means if a discrepancy is noticed in the attributes or content of
+ a file, the copy on the `favorite-child' will be considered the definitive
+ version and its contents will
+\emph on
+overwrite
+\emph default
+the contents of all other copies.
+ Use this option with caution! It is possible to
+\emph on
+lose data
+\emph default
+ with this option.
+ If you are in doubt, do not specify this option.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Self-heal options
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Setting any of these options to
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+off
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ prevents that kind of self-heal from being done on a file or directory.
+ For example, if metadata self-heal is turned off, permissions and ownership
+ are no longer fixed automatically.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection*
+data-self-heal (default: on)
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Enable/disable self-healing of file contents.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection*
+metadata-self-heal (default: off)
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Enable/disable self-healing of metadata (permissions, ownership, modification
+ times).
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsubsection*
+entry-self-heal (default: on)
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Enable/disable self-healing of directory entries.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Change Log options
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+If any of these options is turned off, it disables writing of change log
+ entries for that class of file operations.
+ That is, steps 2 and 4 of the write algorithm (see above) are not done.
+ Note that if the change log is not written, the self-heal algorithm cannot
+ determine the
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+correct
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ version of a file and hence self-heal will only be able to fix
+\begin_inset Quotes eld
+\end_inset
+
+obviously
+\begin_inset Quotes erd
+\end_inset
+
+ wrong things (such as a file existing on only one node).

+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Locking options
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+These options let you specify the number of lock servers to use for each
+ class of file operations.
+ The default values are satisfactory in most cases.
+ If you are extra paranoid, you may want to increase the values.
+ However, be very cautious if you set the data- or entry- lock server counts
+ to zero, since this can result in
+\emph on
+lost data.
+
+\emph default
+ For example, if you set the data-lock-server-count to zero, and two application
+s write to the same region of a file, there is a possibility that none of
+ your servers will have all the data.
+ In other words, the copies will be
+\emph on
+inconsistent
+\emph default
+, and
+\emph on
+incomplete
+\emph default
+.
+ Do not set data- and entry- lock server counts to zero unless you absolutely
+ know what you are doing and agree to not hold GlusterFS responsible for
+ any lost data.
+\end_layout

+Known Issues
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+Self-heal of file with more than one link (hard links):
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Consider two servers, A and B.
+ Assume A is down, and the user creates a file `new' as a hard link to a
+ file `old'.
+ When A comes back up, replicate will see that the file `new' does not exist on
+ A, and self-heal will create the file and copy the contents from B.
+ However, now on server A the file `new' is not a link to the file `old'
+ but an entirely different file.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+We know of no easy way to fix this problem, but we will try to fix it in
+ forthcoming releases.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+File re-opening after a server comes back up:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+If a server A goes down and comes back up, any files which were opened while
+ A was down and are still open will not have their writes replicated on
+ A.
+ In other words, data replication only happens on those servers which were
+ alive when the file was opened.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+This is a rather tricky issue but we hope to fix it very soon.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Section*
+Frequently Asked Questions
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+1.
+ How can I force self-heal to happen?
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+You can force self-heal to happen on your cluster by running a script or
+ a command that accesses every file.
+ A simple way to do it would be:
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+\begin_inset ERT
+status open
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+
+
+\backslash
+begin{verbatim}
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+
+$ ls -lR
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+
+
+\backslash
+end{verbatim}
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+
+\end_layout
+
+\end_inset
+
+
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Run the command in all directories which you want to forcibly self-heal.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+2.
+ Which backend filesystem should I use for replicate?
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+You can use any backend filesystem that supports extended attributes.
+ We know of users successfully using XFR, ReiserFS, and Ext3.
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+3.
+ What can I do to improve replicate performance?
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+Try loading performance translators such as io-threads, write-behind, io-cache,
+ and read-ahead depending on your workload.
+ If you are willing to sacrifice correctness in corner cases, you can experiment
+ with the lock-server-count and the change-log options (see above).
+ As warned earlier, be very careful!
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Subsection*
+4.
+ How can I selectively replicate files?
+\end_layout
+
+\begin_layout Standard
+There is no support for selective replication in replicate itself.
+ You can achieve selective replication by loading the unify translator over
+ replicate, and using the switch scheduler.
+ Configure unify with two subvolumes, one of them being replicate.
+ Using the switch scheduler, schedule all files for which you need replication
+ to the replicate subvolume.
+ Consult unify and switch documentation for more details.

+ Solaris Extended Attributes
+
+In solaris extended attributes are logically supported as files
+within the filesystem. The file system is therefore augmented
+with an orthogonal namespace of file attributes. Attribute values
+are accessed by file descriptors obtained through a special attribute
+interface. This type of logical view of "attributes as files" allows
+the leveraging of existing file system interface functionality to
+support the construction, deletion and manipulation of attributes.
+
+But as we have tested through this functionality provided by Solaris
+we have come accross two major issues as written below.
+
+1. Symlink XATTR_NOFOLLOW not present for creating extended attributes
+ directly on the symlinks like other platforms Linux,MAC-OSX,BSD etc.
+ An implementation is present for O_NOFOLLOW for "openat()" call sets
+ up errno ELOOP whenever encountered with a symlink and also another
+ implementation AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW which is not present for calls like
+ "attropen(), openat()"
+
+ a snippet of test code which helped us understand this behaviour
+ --------------------------------------
+ attrfd = attropen (path, key,
+ flags|AT_SYMLINK_NOFOLLOW|O_CREAT|O_WRONLY|O_NOFOLLOW, 0777);
+ if (attrfd >= 0) {
+ ftruncate (attrfd, 0);
+ ret = write (attrfd, value, size);
+ close (attrfd);
+ } else {
+ fprintf (stderr, "Couldn't set extended attribute for %s (%d)\n",
+ path, errno);
+ }
+ --------------------------------------
+
+2. Extended attribute support for special files like device files, fifo files
+ is not supported under solaris.
+
+Apart from these glitches almost everything regarding porting functionality
+for extended attribute calls has been properly implemented in compat.c
+with writing wrapper around functions over
+"attropen()", "openat()", "unlinkat()"

+Copyright @copyright{} 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
+
+Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+@end display
+
+@enumerate 0
+@item
+PREAMBLE
+
+The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
+functional and useful document @dfn{free} in the sense of freedom: to
+assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
+with or without modifying it, either commercially or noncommercially.
+Secondarily, this License preserves for the author and publisher a way
+to get credit for their work, while not being considered responsible
+for modifications made by others.
+
+This License is a kind of ``copyleft'', which means that derivative
+works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense. It
+complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
+license designed for free software.
+
+We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for free
+software, because free software needs free documentation: a free
+program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms that the
+software does. But this License is not limited to software manuals;
+it can be used for any textual work, regardless of subject matter or
+whether it is published as a printed book. We recommend this License
+principally for works whose purpose is instruction or reference.
+
+@item
+APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
+
+This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium, that
+contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it can be
+distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice grants a
+world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration, to use that
+work under the conditions stated herein. The ``Document'', below,
+refers to any such manual or work. Any member of the public is a
+licensee, and is addressed as ``you''. You accept the license if you
+copy, modify or distribute the work in a way requiring permission
+under copyright law.
+
+A ``Modified Version'' of the Document means any work containing the
+Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
+modifications and/or translated into another language.
+
+A ``Secondary Section'' is a named appendix or a front-matter section
+of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
+publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
+subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could fall
+directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document is in
+part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not explain
+any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of historical
+connection with the subject or with related matters, or of legal,
+commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position regarding
+them.
+
+The ``Invariant Sections'' are certain Secondary Sections whose titles
+are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in the notice
+that says that the Document is released under this License. If a
+section does not fit the above definition of Secondary then it is not
+allowed to be designated as Invariant. The Document may contain zero
+Invariant Sections. If the Document does not identify any Invariant
+Sections then there are none.
+
+The ``Cover Texts'' are certain short passages of text that are listed,
+as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice that says that
+the Document is released under this License. A Front-Cover Text may
+be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may be at most 25 words.
+
+A ``Transparent'' copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
+represented in a format whose specification is available to the
+general public, that is suitable for revising the document
+straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images composed of
+pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some widely available
+drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to text formatters or
+for automatic translation to a variety of formats suitable for input
+to text formatters. A copy made in an otherwise Transparent file
+format whose markup, or absence of markup, has been arranged to thwart
+or discourage subsequent modification by readers is not Transparent.
+An image format is not Transparent if used for any substantial amount
+of text. A copy that is not ``Transparent'' is called ``Opaque''.
+
+Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
+@sc{ascii} without markup, Texinfo input format, La@TeX{} input
+format, @acronym{SGML} or @acronym{XML} using a publicly available
+@acronym{DTD}, and standard-conforming simple @acronym{HTML},
+PostScript or @acronym{PDF} designed for human modification. Examples
+of transparent image formats include @acronym{PNG}, @acronym{XCF} and
+@acronym{JPG}. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that can be
+read and edited only by proprietary word processors, @acronym{SGML} or
+@acronym{XML} for which the @acronym{DTD} and/or processing tools are
+not generally available, and the machine-generated @acronym{HTML},
+PostScript or @acronym{PDF} produced by some word processors for
+output purposes only.
+
+The ``Title Page'' means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
+plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the material
+this License requires to appear in the title page. For works in
+formats which do not have any title page as such, ``Title Page'' means
+the text near the most prominent appearance of the work's title,
+preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
+
+A section ``Entitled XYZ'' means a named subunit of the Document whose
+title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses following
+text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ stands for a
+specific section name mentioned below, such as ``Acknowledgements'',
+``Dedications'', ``Endorsements'', or ``History''.) To ``Preserve the Title''
+of such a section when you modify the Document means that it remains a
+section ``Entitled XYZ'' according to this definition.
+
+The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice which
+states that this License applies to the Document. These Warranty
+Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in this
+License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
+implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and has
+no effect on the meaning of this License.
+
+@item
+VERBATIM COPYING
+
+You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
+commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
+copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License applies
+to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you add no other
+conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You may not use
+technical measures to obstruct or control the reading or further
+copying of the copies you make or distribute. However, you may accept
+compensation in exchange for copies. If you distribute a large enough
+number of copies you must also follow the conditions in section 3.
+
+You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above, and
+you may publicly display copies.
+
+@item
+COPYING IN QUANTITY
+
+If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly have
+printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and the
+Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must enclose the
+copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all these Cover
+Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and Back-Cover Texts on
+the back cover. Both covers must also clearly and legibly identify
+you as the publisher of these copies. The front cover must present
+the full title with all words of the title equally prominent and
+visible. You may add other material on the covers in addition.
+Copying with changes limited to the covers, as long as they preserve
+the title of the Document and satisfy these conditions, can be treated
+as verbatim copying in other respects.
+
+If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
+legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
+reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto adjacent
+pages.
+
+If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document numbering
+more than 100, you must either include a machine-readable Transparent
+copy along with each Opaque copy, or state in or with each Opaque copy
+a computer-network location from which the general network-using
+public has access to download using public-standard network protocols
+a complete Transparent copy of the Document, free of added material.
+If you use the latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps,
+when you begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure
+that this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
+location until at least one year after the last time you distribute an
+Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or retailers) of that
+edition to the public.
+
+It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of the
+Document well before redistributing any large number of copies, to give
+them a chance to provide you with an updated version of the Document.
+
+@item
+MODIFICATIONS
+
+You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document under
+the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you release
+the Modified Version under precisely this License, with the Modified
+Version filling the role of the Document, thus licensing distribution
+and modification of the Modified Version to whoever possesses a copy
+of it. In addition, you must do these things in the Modified Version:
+
+@enumerate A
+@item
+Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title distinct
+from that of the Document, and from those of previous versions
+(which should, if there were any, be listed in the History section
+of the Document). You may use the same title as a previous version
+if the original publisher of that version gives permission.
+
+@item
+List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or entities
+responsible for authorship of the modifications in the Modified
+Version, together with at least five of the principal authors of the
+Document (all of its principal authors, if it has fewer than five),
+unless they release you from this requirement.
+
+@item
+State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
+Modified Version, as the publisher.
+
+@item
+Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
+
+@item
+Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
+adjacent to the other copyright notices.
+
+@item
+Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license notice
+giving the public permission to use the Modified Version under the
+terms of this License, in the form shown in the Addendum below.
+
+@item
+Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant Sections
+and required Cover Texts given in the Document's license notice.
+
+@item
+Include an unaltered copy of this License.
+
+@item
+Preserve the section Entitled ``History'', Preserve its Title, and add
+to it an item stating at least the title, year, new authors, and
+publisher of the Modified Version as given on the Title Page. If
+there is no section Entitled ``History'' in the Document, create one
+stating the title, year, authors, and publisher of the Document as
+given on its Title Page, then add an item describing the Modified
+Version as stated in the previous sentence.
+
+@item
+Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document for
+public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and likewise
+the network locations given in the Document for previous versions
+it was based on. These may be placed in the ``History'' section.
+You may omit a network location for a work that was published at
+least four years before the Document itself, or if the original
+publisher of the version it refers to gives permission.
+
+@item
+For any section Entitled ``Acknowledgements'' or ``Dedications'', Preserve
+the Title of the section, and preserve in the section all the
+substance and tone of each of the contributor acknowledgements and/or
+dedications given therein.
+
+@item
+Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
+unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
+or the equivalent are not considered part of the section titles.
+
+@item
+Delete any section Entitled ``Endorsements''. Such a section
+may not be included in the Modified Version.
+
+@item
+Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled ``Endorsements'' or
+to conflict in title with any Invariant Section.
+
+@item
+Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
+@end enumerate
+
+If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
+appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no material
+copied from the Document, you may at your option designate some or all
+of these sections as invariant. To do this, add their titles to the
+list of Invariant Sections in the Modified Version's license notice.
+These titles must be distinct from any other section titles.
+
+You may add a section Entitled ``Endorsements'', provided it contains
+nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
+parties---for example, statements of peer review or that the text has
+been approved by an organization as the authoritative definition of a
+standard.
+
+You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text, and a
+passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end of the list
+of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one passage of
+Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be added by (or
+through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the Document already
+includes a cover text for the same cover, previously added by you or
+by arrangement made by the same entity you are acting on behalf of,
+you may not add another; but you may replace the old one, on explicit
+permission from the previous publisher that added the old one.
+
+The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this License
+give permission to use their names for publicity for or to assert or
+imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
+
+@item
+COMBINING DOCUMENTS
+
+You may combine the Document with other documents released under this
+License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for modified
+versions, provided that you include in the combination all of the
+Invariant Sections of all of the original documents, unmodified, and
+list them all as Invariant Sections of your combined work in its
+license notice, and that you preserve all their Warranty Disclaimers.
+
+The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
+multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
+copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name but
+different contents, make the title of each such section unique by
+adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the original
+author or publisher of that section if known, or else a unique number.
+Make the same adjustment to the section titles in the list of
+Invariant Sections in the license notice of the combined work.
+
+In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled ``History''
+in the various original documents, forming one section Entitled
+``History''; likewise combine any sections Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
+and any sections Entitled ``Dedications''. You must delete all
+sections Entitled ``Endorsements.''
+
+@item
+COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
+
+You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other documents
+released under this License, and replace the individual copies of this
+License in the various documents with a single copy that is included in
+the collection, provided that you follow the rules of this License for
+verbatim copying of each of the documents in all other respects.
+
+You may extract a single document from such a collection, and distribute
+it individually under this License, provided you insert a copy of this
+License into the extracted document, and follow this License in all
+other respects regarding verbatim copying of that document.
+
+@item
+AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
+
+A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other separate
+and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of a storage or
+distribution medium, is called an ``aggregate'' if the copyright
+resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the legal rights
+of the compilation's users beyond what the individual works permit.
+When the Document is included in an aggregate, this License does not
+apply to the other works in the aggregate which are not themselves
+derivative works of the Document.
+
+If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
+copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half of
+the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed on
+covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
+electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic form.
+Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket the whole
+aggregate.
+
+@item
+TRANSLATION
+
+Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
+distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section 4.
+Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
+permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
+translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
+original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
+translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
+Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also include
+the original English version of this License and the original versions
+of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a disagreement between
+the translation and the original version of this License or a notice
+or disclaimer, the original version will prevail.
+
+If a section in the Document is Entitled ``Acknowledgements'',
+``Dedications'', or ``History'', the requirement (section 4) to Preserve
+its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the actual
+title.
+
+@item
+TERMINATION
+
+You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document except
+as expressly provided for under this License. Any other attempt to
+copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is void, and will
+automatically terminate your rights under this License. However,
+parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this
+License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
+parties remain in full compliance.
+
+@item
+FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
+
+The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions
+of the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
+versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
+differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
+@uref{http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/}.
+
+Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version number.
+If the Document specifies that a particular numbered version of this
+License ``or any later version'' applies to it, you have the option of
+following the terms and conditions either of that specified version or
+of any later version that has been published (not as a draft) by the

+1 Introduction
+**************
+
+GlusterFS is a distributed filesystem. It works at the file level, not
+block level.
+
+ A network filesystem is one which allows us to access remote files. A
+distributed filesystem is one that stores data on multiple machines and
+makes them all appear to be a part of the same filesystem.
+
+ Need for distributed filesystems
+
+ * Scalability: A distributed filesystem allows us to store more data
+ than what can be stored on a single machine.
+
+ * Redundancy: We might want to replicate crucial data on to several
+ machines.
+
+ * Uniform access: One can mount a remote volume (for example your
+ home directory) from any machine and access the same data.

+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Pre requisites, Next: Getting GlusterFS, Up: Installation and Invocation
+
+2.1 Pre requisites
+==================
+
+Before installing GlusterFS make sure you have the following components
+installed.
+
+2.1.1 FUSE
+----------
+
+You'll need FUSE version 2.6.0 or higher to use GlusterFS. You can omit
+installing FUSE if you want to build _only_ the server. Note that you
+won't be able to mount a GlusterFS filesystem on a machine that does
+not have FUSE installed.
+
+ FUSE can be downloaded from: <http://fuse.sourceforge.net/>
+
+ To get the best performance from GlusterFS, however, it is
+recommended that you use our patched version of FUSE. See Patched FUSE
+for details.
+
+2.1.2 Patched FUSE
+------------------
+
+The GlusterFS project maintains a patched version of FUSE meant to be
+used with GlusterFS. The patches increase GlusterFS performance. It is
+recommended that all users use the patched FUSE.
+
+ The patched FUSE tarball can be downloaded from:
+
+ <ftp://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/>
+
+ The specific changes made to FUSE are:
+
+ * The communication channel size between FUSE kernel module and
+ GlusterFS has been increased to 1MB, permitting large reads and
+ writes to be sent in bigger chunks.
+
+ * The kernel's read-ahead boundry has been extended upto 1MB.
+
+ * Block size returned in the `stat()'/`fstat()' calls tuned to 1MB,
+ to make cp and similar commands perform I/O using that block size.
+
+ * `flock()' locking support has been added (although some rework in
+ GlusterFS is needed for perfect compliance).
+
+2.1.3 libibverbs (optional)
+---------------------------
+
+This is only needed if you want GlusterFS to use InfiniBand as the
+interconnect mechanism between server and client. You can get it from:
+
+ <http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads.htm>.
+
+2.1.4 Bison and Flex
+--------------------
+
+These should be already installed on most Linux systems. If not, use
+your distribution's normal software installation procedures to install
+them. Make sure you install the relevant developer packages also.
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Getting GlusterFS, Next: Building, Prev: Pre requisites, Up: Installation and Invocation
+
+2.2 Getting GlusterFS
+=====================
+
+There are many ways to get hold of GlusterFS. For a production
+deployment, the recommended method is to download the latest release
+tarball. Release tarballs are available at:
+<http://gluster.org/download.php>.
+
+ If you want the bleeding edge development source, you can get them
+from the GNU Arch(1) repository. First you must install GNU Arch
+itself. Then register the GlusterFS archive by doing:
+
+ $ tla register-archive http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/gluster
+
+ Now you can check out the source itself:
+
+ $ tla get -A gluster@sv.gnu.org glusterfs--mainline--3.0

+
+2.3 Building
+============
+
+You can skip this section if you're installing from RPMs or DEBs.
+
+ GlusterFS uses the Autotools mechanism to build. As such, the
+procedure is straight-forward. First, change into the GlusterFS source
+directory.
+
+ $ cd glusterfs-<version>
+
+ If you checked out the source from the Arch repository, you'll need
+to run `./autogen.sh' first. Note that you'll need to have Autoconf and
+Automake installed for this.
+
+ Run `configure'.
+
+ $ ./configure
+
+ The configure script accepts the following options:
+
+`--disable-ibverbs'
+ Disable the InfiniBand transport mechanism.
+
+`--disable-fuse-client'
+ Disable the FUSE client.
+
+`--disable-server'
+ Disable building of the GlusterFS server.
+
+`--disable-bdb'
+ Disable building of Berkeley DB based storage translator.
+
+`--disable-mod_glusterfs'
+ Disable building of Apache/lighttpd glusterfs plugins.
+
+`--disable-epoll'
+ Use poll instead of epoll.
+
+`--disable-libglusterfsclient'
+ Disable building of libglusterfsclient
+
+
+ Build and install GlusterFS.
+
+ # make install
+
+ The binaries (`glusterfsd' and `glusterfs') will be by default
+installed in `/usr/local/sbin/'. Translator, scheduler, and transport
+shared libraries will be installed in
+`/usr/local/lib/glusterfs/<version>/'. Sample volume specification
+files will be in `/usr/local/etc/glusterfs/'. This document itself can
+be found in `/usr/local/share/doc/glusterfs/'. If you passed the
+`--prefix' argument to the configure script, then replace `/usr/local'
+in the preceding paths with the prefix.

+
+2.5 A Tutorial Introduction
+===========================
+
+This section will show you how to quickly get GlusterFS up and running.
+We'll configure GlusterFS as a simple network filesystem, with one
+server and one client. In this mode of usage, GlusterFS can serve as a
+replacement for NFS.
+
+ We'll make use of two machines; call them _server_ and _client_ (If
+you don't want to setup two machines, just run everything that follows
+on the same machine). In the examples that follow, the shell prompts
+will use these names to clarify the machine on which the command is
+being run. For example, a command that should be run on the server will
+be shown with the prompt:
+
+ [root@server]#
+
+ Our goal is to make a directory on the _server_ (say, `/export')
+accessible to the _client_.
+
+ First of all, get GlusterFS installed on both the machines, as
+described in the previous sections. Make sure you have the FUSE kernel
+module loaded. You can ensure this by running:
+
+ [root@server]# modprobe fuse
+
+ Before we can run the GlusterFS client or server programs, we need
+to write two files called _volume specifications_ (equivalently refered
+to as _volfiles_). The volfile describes the _translator tree_ on a
+node. The next chapter will explain the concepts of `translator' and
+`volume specification' in detail. For now, just assume that the volfile
+is like an NFS `/etc/export' file.
+
+ On the server, create a text file somewhere (we'll assume the path
+`/tmp/glusterfsd.vol') with the following contents.
+
+ volume colon-o
+ type storage/posix
+ option directory /export
+ end-volume
+
+ volume server
+ type protocol/server
+ subvolumes colon-o
+ option transport-type tcp
+ option auth.addr.colon-o.allow *
+ end-volume
+
+ A brief explanation of the file's contents. The first section
+defines a storage volume, named "colon-o" (the volume names are
+arbitrary), which exports the `/export' directory. The second section
+defines options for the translator which will make the storage volume
+accessible remotely. It specifies `colon-o' as a subvolume. This
+defines the _translator tree_, about which more will be said in the
+next chapter. The two options specify that the TCP protocol is to be
+used (as opposed to InfiniBand, for example), and that access to the
+storage volume is to be provided to clients with any IP address at all.
+If you wanted to restrict access to this server to only your subnet for
+example, you'd specify something like `192.168.1.*' in the second
+option line.
+
+ On the client machine, create the following text file (again, we'll
+assume the path to be `/tmp/glusterfs-client.vol'). Replace
+_server-ip-address_ with the IP address of your server machine. If you
+are doing all this on a single machine, use `127.0.0.1'.
+
+ volume client
+ type protocol/client
+ option transport-type tcp
+ option remote-host _server-ip-address_
+ option remote-subvolume colon-o
+ end-volume
+
+ Now we need to start both the server and client programs. To start
+the server:
+
+ [root@server]# glusterfsd -f /tmp/glusterfs-server.vol
+
+ To start the client:
+
+ [root@client]# glusterfs -f /tmp/glusterfs-client.vol /mnt/glusterfs
+
+ You should now be able to see the files under the server's `/export'
+directory in the `/mnt/glusterfs' directory on the client. That's it;
+GlusterFS is now working as a network file system.

+

+File: user-guide.info, Node: Filesystems in Userspace, Next: Translator, Up: Concepts
+
+3.1 Filesystems in Userspace
+============================
+
+A filesystem is usually implemented in kernel space. Kernel space
+development is much harder than userspace development. FUSE is a kernel
+module/library that allows us to write a filesystem completely in
+userspace.
+
+ FUSE consists of a kernel module which interacts with the userspace
+implementation using a device file `/dev/fuse'. When a process makes a
+syscall on a FUSE filesystem, VFS hands the request to the FUSE module,
+which writes the request to `/dev/fuse'. The userspace implementation
+polls `/dev/fuse', and when a request arrives, processes it and writes
+the result back to `/dev/fuse'. The kernel then reads from the device
+file and returns the result to the user process.
+
+ In case of GlusterFS, the userspace program is the GlusterFS client.
+The control flow is shown in the diagram below. The GlusterFS client
+services the request by sending it to the server, which in turn hands
+it to the local POSIX filesystem.
+
+
+ Fig 1. Control flow in GlusterFS
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Translator, Next: Volume specification file, Prev: Filesystems in Userspace, Up: Concepts
+
+3.2 Translator
+==============
+
+The _translator_ is the most important concept in GlusterFS. In fact,
+GlusterFS is nothing but a collection of translators working together,
+forming a translator _tree_.
+
+ The idea of a translator is perhaps best understood using an
+analogy. Consider the VFS in the Linux kernel. The VFS abstracts the
+various filesystem implementations (such as EXT3, ReiserFS, XFS, etc.)
+supported by the kernel. When an application calls the kernel to
+perform an operation on a file, the kernel passes the request on to the
+appropriate filesystem implementation.
+
+ For example, let's say there are two partitions on a Linux machine:
+`/', which is an EXT3 partition, and `/usr', which is a ReiserFS
+partition. Now if an application wants to open a file called, say,
+`/etc/fstab', then the kernel will internally pass the request to the
+EXT3 implementation. If on the other hand, an application wants to
+read a file called `/usr/src/linux/CREDITS', then the kernel will call
+upon the ReiserFS implementation to do the job.
+
+ The "filesystem implementation" objects are analogous to GlusterFS
+translators. A GlusterFS translator implements all the filesystem
+operations. Whereas in VFS there is a two-level tree (with the kernel
+at the root and all the filesystem implementation as its children), in
+GlusterFS there exists a more elaborate tree structure.
+
+ We can now define translators more precisely. A GlusterFS translator
+is a shared object (`.so') that implements every filesystem call.
+GlusterFS translators can be arranged in an arbitrary tree structure
+(subject to constraints imposed by the translators). When GlusterFS
+receives a filesystem call, it passes it on to the translator at the
+root of the translator tree. The root translator may in turn pass it on
+to any or all of its children, and so on, until the leaf nodes are
+reached. The result of a filesystem call is communicated in the reverse
+fashion, from the leaf nodes up to the root node, and then on to the
+application.
+
+ So what might a translator tree look like?
+
+
+ Fig 2. A sample translator tree
+
+ The diagram depicts three servers and one GlusterFS client. It is
+important to note that conceptually, the translator tree spans machine
+boundaries. Thus, the client machine in the diagram, `10.0.0.1', can
+access the aggregated storage of the filesystems on the server machines
+`10.0.0.2', `10.0.0.3', and `10.0.0.4'. The translator diagram will

+
+3.3 Volume specification file
+=============================
+
+The volume specification file describes the translator tree for both the
+server and client programs.
+
+ A volume specification file is a sequence of volume definitions.
+The syntax of a volume definition is explained below:
+
+ *volume* _volume-name_
+ *type* _translator-name_
+ *option* _option-name_ _option-value_
+ ...
+ *subvolumes* _subvolume1_ _subvolume2_ ...
+ *end-volume*
+
+ ...
+
+_volume-name_
+ An identifier for the volume. This is just a human-readable name,
+ and can contain any alphanumeric character. For instance,
+ "storage-1", "colon-o", or "forty-two".
+
+_translator-name_
+ Name of one of the available translators. Example:
+ `protocol/client', `cluster/unify'.
+
+_option-name_
+ Name of a valid option for the translator.
+
+_option-value_
+ Value for the option. Everything following the "option" keyword to
+ the end of the line is considered the value; it is up to the
+ translator to parse it.
+
+_subvolume1_, _subvolume2_, ...
+ Volume names of sub-volumes. The sub-volumes must already have
+ been defined earlier in the file.
+
+ There are a few rules you must follow when writing a volume
+specification file:
+
+ * Everything following a ``#'' is considered a comment and is
+ ignored. Blank lines are also ignored.
+
+ * All names and keywords are case-sensitive.
+
+ * The order of options inside a volume definition does not matter.
+
+ * An option value may not span multiple lines.
+
+ * If an option is not specified, it will assume its default value.
+
+ * A sub-volume must have already been defined before it can be
+ referenced. This means you have to write the specification file
+ "bottom-up", starting from the leaf nodes of the translator tree
+ and moving up to the root.
+
+ A simple example volume specification file is shown below:
+
+ # This is a comment line
+ volume client
+ type protocol/client
+ option transport-type tcp
+ option remote-host localhost # Also a comment
+ option remote-subvolume brick
+ # The subvolumes line may be absent
+ end-volume
+
+ volume iot
+ type performance/io-threads
+ option thread-count 4
+ subvolumes client
+ end-volume
+
+ volume wb
+ type performance/write-behind
+ subvolumes iot
+ end-volume

+
+4.1 Storage Translators
+=======================
+
+The storage translators form the "backend" for GlusterFS. Currently,
+the only available storage translator is the POSIX translator, which
+stores files on a normal POSIX filesystem. A pleasant consequence of
+this is that your data will still be accessible if GlusterFS crashes or
+cannot be started.
+
+ Other storage backends are planned for the future. One of the
+possibilities is an Amazon S3 translator. Amazon S3 is an unlimited
+online storage service accessible through a web services API. The S3
+translator will allow you to access the storage as a normal POSIX
+filesystem. (1)

+File: user-guide.info, Node: POSIX, Next: BDB, Up: Storage Translators
+
+4.1.1 POSIX
+-----------
+
+ type storage/posix
+
+ The `posix' translator uses a normal POSIX filesystem as its
+"backend" to actually store files and directories. This can be any
+filesystem that supports extended attributes (EXT3, ReiserFS, XFS,
+...). Extended attributes are used by some translators to store
+metadata, for example, by the replicate and stripe translators. See
+*Note Replicate:: and *Note Stripe::, respectively for details.
+
+`directory <path>'
+ The directory on the local filesystem which is to be used for
+ storage.
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: BDB, Prev: POSIX, Up: Storage Translators
+
+4.1.2 BDB
+---------
+
+ type storage/bdb
+
+ The `BDB' translator uses a Berkeley DB database as its "backend" to
+actually store files as key-value pair in the database and directories
+as regular POSIX directories. Note that BDB does not provide extended
+attribute support for regular files. Do not use BDB as storage
+translator while using any translator that demands extended attributes
+on "backend".
+
+`directory <path>'
+ The directory on the local filesystem which is to be used for
+ storage.
+
+`mode [cache|persistent] (cache)'
+ When BDB is run in `cache' mode, recovery of back-end is not
+ completely guaranteed. `persistent' guarantees that BDB can
+ recover back-end from Berkeley DB even if GlusterFS crashes.
+
+`errfile <path>'
+ The path of the file to be used as `errfile' for Berkeley DB to
+ report detailed error messages, if any. Note that all the contents
+ of this file will be written by Berkeley DB, not GlusterFS.
+
+`logdir <path>'

+4.2 Client and Server Translators
+=================================
+
+The client and server translator enable GlusterFS to export a
+translator tree over the network or access a remote GlusterFS server.
+These two translators implement GlusterFS's network protocol.

+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Transport modules, Next: Client protocol, Up: Client and Server Translators
+
+4.2.1 Transport modules
+-----------------------
+
+The client and server translators are capable of using any of the
+pluggable transport modules. Currently available transport modules are
+`tcp', which uses a TCP connection between client and server to
+communicate; `ib-sdp', which uses a TCP connection over InfiniBand, and
+`ibverbs', which uses high-speed InfiniBand connections.
+
+ Each transport module comes in two different versions, one to be
+used on the server side and the other on the client side.
+
+4.2.1.1 TCP
+...........
+
+The TCP transport module uses a TCP/IP connection between the server
+and the client.
+
+ option transport-type tcp
+
+ The TCP client module accepts the following options:
+
+`non-blocking-connect [no|off|on|yes] (on)'
+ Whether to make the connection attempt asynchronous.
+
+`remote-port <n> (6996)'
+ Server port to connect to.
+
+`remote-host <hostname> *'
+ Hostname or IP address of the server. If the host name resolves to
+ multiple IP addresses, all of them will be tried in a round-robin
+ fashion. This feature can be used to implement fail-over.
+
+ The TCP server module accepts the following options:
+
+`bind-address <address> (0.0.0.0)'
+ The local interface on which the server should listen to requests.
+ Default is to listen on all interfaces.
+
+`listen-port <n> (6996)'
+ The local port to listen on.
+
+4.2.1.2 IB-SDP
+..............
+
+ option transport-type ib-sdp
+
+ kernel implements socket interface for ib hardware. SDP is over
+ib-verbs. This module accepts the same options as `tcp'
+
+4.2.1.3 ibverbs
+...............
+
+ option transport-type tcp
+
+ InfiniBand is a scalable switched fabric interconnect mechanism
+primarily used in high-performance computing. InfiniBand can deliver
+data throughput of the order of 10 Gbit/s, with latencies of 4-5 ms.
+
+ The `ib-verbs' transport accesses the InfiniBand hardware through
+the "verbs" API, which is the lowest level of software access possible
+and which gives the highest performance. On InfiniBand hardware, it is
+always best to use `ib-verbs'. Use `ib-sdp' only if you cannot get
+`ib-verbs' working for some reason.
+
+ The `ib-verbs' client module accepts the following options:
+
+`non-blocking-connect [no|off|on|yes] (on)'
+ Whether to make the connection attempt asynchronous.
+
+`remote-port <n> (6996)'
+ Server port to connect to.
+
+`remote-host <hostname> *'
+ Hostname or IP address of the server. If the host name resolves to
+ multiple IP addresses, all of them will be tried in a round-robin
+ fashion. This feature can be used to implement fail-over.
+
+ The `ib-verbs' server module accepts the following options:
+
+`bind-address <address> (0.0.0.0)'
+ The local interface on which the server should listen to requests.
+ Default is to listen on all interfaces.
+
+`listen-port <n> (6996)'
+ The local port to listen on.
+
+ The following options are common to both the client and server
+modules:
+
+ If you are familiar with InfiniBand jargon, the mode is used by
+GlusterFS is "reliable connection-oriented channel transfer".
+
+`ib-verbs-work-request-send-count <n> (64)'
+ Length of the send queue in datagrams. [Reason to
+ increase/decrease?]
+
+`ib-verbs-work-request-recv-count <n> (64)'
+ Length of the receive queue in datagrams. [Reason to
+ increase/decrease?]
+
+`ib-verbs-work-request-send-size <size> (128KB)'
+ Size of each datagram that is sent. [Reason to increase/decrease?]
+
+`ib-verbs-work-request-recv-size <size> (128KB)'
+ Size of each datagram that is received. [Reason to
+ increase/decrease?]
+
+`ib-verbs-port <n> (1)'
+ Port number for ib-verbs.
+
+`ib-verbs-mtu [256|512|1024|2048|4096] (2048)'
+ The Maximum Transmission Unit [Reason to increase/decrease?]
+
+`ib-verbs-device-name <device-name> (first device in the list)'
+ InfiniBand device to be used.
+
+ For maximum performance, you should ensure that the send/receive
+counts on both the client and server are the same.
+
+ ib-verbs is preferred over ib-sdp.
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Client protocol, Next: Server protocol, Prev: Transport modules, Up: Client and Server Translators
+
+4.2.2 Client
+------------
+
+ type procotol/client
+
+ The client translator enables the GlusterFS client to access a
+remote server's translator tree.
+
+`transport-type [tcp,ib-sdp,ib-verbs] (tcp)'
+ The transport type to use. You should use the client versions of
+ all the transport modules (`tcp', `ib-sdp', `ib-verbs').
+
+`remote-subvolume <volume_name> *'
+ The name of the volume on the remote host to attach to. Note that
+ this is _not_ the name of the `protocol/server' volume on the
+ server. It should be any volume under the server.
+
+`transport-timeout <n> (120- seconds)'
+ Inactivity timeout. If a reply is expected and no activity takes
+ place on the connection within this time, the transport connection
+ will be broken, and a new connection will be attempted.
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Server protocol, Prev: Client protocol, Up: Client and Server Translators
+
+4.2.3 Server
+------------
+
+ type protocol/server
+
+ The server translator exports a translator tree and makes it
+accessible to remote GlusterFS clients.
+
+`client-volume-filename <path> (<CONFDIR>/glusterfs-client.vol)'
+ The volume specification file to use for the client. This is the
+ file the client will receive when it is invoked with the
+ `--server' option (*Note Client::).
+
+`transport-type [tcp,ib-verbs,ib-sdp] (tcp)'
+ The transport to use. You should use the server versions of all
+ the transport modules (`tcp', `ib-sdp', `ib-verbs').
+
+`auth.addr.<volume name>.allow <IP address wildcard pattern>'
+ IP addresses of the clients that are allowed to attach to the
+ specified volume. This can be a wildcard. For example, a wildcard
+ of the form `192.168.*.*' allows any host in the `192.168.x.x'
+ subnet to connect to the server.

+
+4.3 Clustering Translators
+==========================
+
+The clustering translators are the most important GlusterFS
+translators, since it is these that make GlusterFS a cluster
+filesystem. These translators together enable GlusterFS to access an
+arbitrarily large amount of storage, and provide RAID-like redundancy
+and distribution over the entire cluster.
+
+ There are three clustering translators: *unify*, *replicate*, and
+*stripe*. The unify translator aggregates storage from many server
+nodes. The replicate translator provides file replication. The stripe
+translator allows a file to be spread across many server nodes. The
+following sections look at each of these translators in detail.
+
+* Menu:
+
+* Unify::
+* Replicate::
+* Stripe::
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Unify, Next: Replicate, Up: Clustering Translators
+
+4.3.1 Unify
+-----------
+
+ type cluster/unify
+
+ The unify translator presents a `unified' view of all its
+sub-volumes. That is, it makes the union of all its sub-volumes appear
+as a single volume. It is the unify translator that gives GlusterFS the
+ability to access an arbitrarily large amount of storage.
+
+ For unify to work correctly, certain invariants need to be
+maintained across the entire network. These are:
+
+ * The directory structure of all the sub-volumes must be identical.
+
+ * A particular file can exist on only one of the sub-volumes.
+ Phrasing it in another way, a pathname such as
+ `/home/calvin/homework.txt') is unique across the entire cluster.
+
+
+
+Looking at the second requirement, you might wonder how one can
+accomplish storing redundant copies of a file, if no file can exist
+multiple times. To answer, we must remember that these invariants are
+from _unify's perspective_. A translator such as replicate at a lower
+level in the translator tree than unify may subvert this picture.
+
+ The first invariant might seem quite tedious to ensure. We shall see
+later that this is not so, since unify's _self-heal_ mechanism takes
+care of maintaining it.
+
+ The second invariant implies that unify needs some way to decide
+which file goes where. Unify makes use of _scheduler_ modules for this
+purpose.
+
+ When a file needs to be created, unify's scheduler decides upon the
+sub-volume to be used to store the file. There are many schedulers
+available, each using a different algorithm and suitable for different
+purposes.
+
+ The various schedulers are described in detail in the sections that
+follow.
+
+4.3.1.1 ALU
+...........
+
+ option scheduler alu
+
+ ALU stands for "Adaptive Least Usage". It is the most advanced
+scheduler available in GlusterFS. It balances the load across volumes
+taking several factors in account. It adapts itself to changing I/O
+patterns according to its configuration. When properly configured, it
+can eliminate the need for regular tuning of the filesystem to keep
+volume load nicely balanced.
+
+ The ALU scheduler is composed of multiple least-usage
+sub-schedulers. Each sub-scheduler keeps track of a certain type of
+load, for each of the sub-volumes, getting statistics from the
+sub-volumes themselves. The sub-schedulers are these:
+
+ * disk-usage: The used and free disk space on the volume.
+
+ * read-usage: The amount of reading done from this volume.
+
+ * write-usage: The amount of writing done to this volume.
+
+ * open-files-usage: The number of files currently open from this
+ volume.
+
+ * disk-speed-usage: The speed at which the disks are spinning. This
+ is a constant value and therefore not very useful.
+
+ The ALU scheduler needs to know which of these sub-schedulers to use,
+and in which order to evaluate them. This is done through the `option
+alu.order' configuration directive.
+
+ Each sub-scheduler needs to know two things: when to kick in (the
+entry-threshold), and how long to stay in control (the exit-threshold).
+For example: when unifying three disks of 100GB, keeping an exact
+balance of disk-usage is not necesary. Instead, there could be a 1GB
+margin, which can be used to nicely balance other factors, such as
+read-usage. The disk-usage scheduler can be told to kick in only when a
+certain threshold of discrepancy is passed, such as 1GB. When it
+assumes control under this condition, it will write all subsequent data
+to the least-used volume. If it is doing so, it is unwise to stop right
+after the values are below the entry-threshold again, since that would
+make it very likely that the situation will occur again very soon. Such
+a situation would cause the ALU to spend most of its time disk-usage
+scheduling, which is unfair to the other sub-schedulers. The
+exit-threshold therefore defines the amount of data that needs to be
+written to the least-used disk, before control is relinquished again.
+
+ In addition to the sub-schedulers, the ALU scheduler also has
+"limits" options. These can stop the creation of new files on a volume
+once values drop below a certain threshold. For example, setting
+`option alu.limits.min-free-disk 5GB' will stop the scheduling of files
+to volumes that have less than 5GB of free disk space, leaving the
+files on that disk some room to grow.
+
+ The actual values you assign to the thresholds for sub-schedulers and
+limits depend on your situation. If you have fast-growing files, you'll
+want to stop file-creation on a disk much earlier than when hardly any
+of your files are growing. If you care less about disk-usage balance
+than about read-usage balance, you'll want a bigger disk-usage
+scheduler entry-threshold and a smaller read-usage scheduler
+entry-threshold.
+
+ For thresholds defining a size, values specifying "KB", "MB" and "GB"
+are allowed. For example: `option alu.limits.min-free-disk 5GB'.
+
+`alu.order <order> * ("disk-usage:write-usage:read-usage:open-files-usage:disk-speed")'
+
+`alu.disk-usage.entry-threshold <size> (1GB)'
+
+`alu.disk-usage.exit-threshold <size> (512MB)'
+
+`alu.write-usage.entry-threshold <%> (25)'
+
+`alu.write-usage.exit-threshold <%> (5)'
+
+`alu.read-usage.entry-threshold <%> (25)'
+
+`alu.read-usage.exit-threshold <%> (5)'
+
+`alu.open-files-usage.entry-threshold <n> (1000)'
+
+`alu.open-files-usage.exit-threshold <n> (100)'
+
+`alu.limits.min-free-disk <%>'
+
+`alu.limits.max-open-files <n>'
+
+4.3.1.2 Round Robin (RR)
+........................
+
+ option scheduler rr
+
+ Round-Robin (RR) scheduler creates files in a round-robin fashion.
+Each client will have its own round-robin loop. When your files are
+mostly similar in size and I/O access pattern, this scheduler is a good
+choice. RR scheduler checks for free disk space on the server before
+scheduling, so you can know when to add another server node. The
+default value of min-free-disk is 5% and is checked on file creation
+calls, with atleast 10 seconds (by default) elapsing between two checks.
+
+ Options:
+`rr.limits.min-free-disk <%> (5)'
+ Minimum free disk space a node must have for RR to schedule a file
+ to it.
+
+`rr.refresh-interval <t> (10 seconds)'
+ Time between two successive free disk space checks.
+
+4.3.1.3 Random
+..............
+
+ option scheduler random
+
+ The random scheduler schedules file creation randomly among its
+child nodes. Like the round-robin scheduler, it also checks for a
+minimum amount of free disk space before scheduling a file to a node.
+
+`random.limits.min-free-disk <%> (5)'
+ Minimum free disk space a node must have for random to schedule a
+ file to it.
+
+`random.refresh-interval <t> (10 seconds)'
+ Time between two successive free disk space checks.
+
+4.3.1.4 NUFA
+............
+
+ option scheduler nufa
+
+ It is common in many GlusterFS computing environments for all
+deployed machines to act as both servers and clients. For example, a
+research lab may have 40 workstations each with its own storage. All of
+these workstations might act as servers exporting a volume as well as
+clients accessing the entire cluster's storage. In such a situation,
+it makes sense to store locally created files on the local workstation
+itself (assuming files are accessed most by the workstation that
+created them). The Non-Uniform File Allocation (NUFA) scheduler
+accomplishes that.
+
+ NUFA gives the local system first priority for file creation over
+other nodes. If the local volume does not have more free disk space
+than a specified amount (5% by default) then NUFA schedules files among
+the other child volumes in a round-robin fashion.
+
+ NUFA is named after the similar strategy used for memory access,
+NUMA(1).
+
+`nufa.limits.min-free-disk <%> (5)'
+ Minimum disk space that must be free (local or remote) for NUFA to
+ schedule a file to it.
+
+`nufa.refresh-interval <t> (10 seconds)'
+ Time between two successive free disk space checks.
+
+`nufa.local-volume-name <volume>'
+ The name of the volume corresponding to the local system. This
+ volume must be one of the children of the unify volume. This
+ option is mandatory.
+
+4.3.1.5 Namespace
+.................
+
+Namespace volume needed because: - persistent inode numbers. - file
+exists even when node is down.
+
+ namespace files are simply touched. on every lookup it is checked.
+
+`namespace <volume> *'
+ Name of the namespace volume (which should be one of the unify
+ volume's children).
+
+`self-heal [on|off] (on)'
+ Enable/disable self-heal. Unless you know what you are doing, do
+ not disable self-heal.
+
+4.3.1.6 Self Heal
+.................
+
+* When a 'lookup()/stat()' call is made on directory for the first
+time, a self-heal call is made, which checks for the consistancy of its
+child nodes. If an entry is present in storage node, but not in
+namespace, that entry is created in namespace, and vica-versa. There is
+an writedir() API introduced which is used for the same. It also checks
+for permissions, and uid/gid consistencies.
+
+ * This check is also done when an server goes down and comes up.
+
+ * If one starts with an empty namespace export, but has data in
+storage nodes, a 'find .>/dev/null' or 'ls -lR >/dev/null' should help
+to build namespace in one shot. Even otherwise, namespace is built on
+demand when a file is looked up for the first time.
+
+ NOTE: There are some issues (Kernel 'Oops' msgs) seen with
+fuse-2.6.3, when someone deletes namespace in backend, when glusterfs is
+running. But with fuse-2.6.5, this issue is not there.

+
+4.3.2 Replicate (formerly AFR)
+------------------------------
+
+ type cluster/replicate
+
+ Replicate provides RAID-1 like functionality for GlusterFS.
+Replicate replicates files and directories across the subvolumes. Hence
+if Replicate has four subvolumes, there will be four copies of all
+files and directories. Replicate provides high-availability, i.e., in
+case one of the subvolumes go down (e. g. server crash, network
+disconnection) Replicate will still service the requests using the
+redundant copies.
+
+ Replicate also provides self-heal functionality, i.e., in case the
+crashed servers come up, the outdated files and directories will be
+updated with the latest versions. Replicate uses extended attributes of
+the backend file system to track the versioning of files and
+directories and provide the self-heal feature.
+
+ volume replicate-example
+ type cluster/replicate
+ subvolumes brick1 brick2 brick3
+ end-volume
+
+ This sample configuration will replicate all directories and files on
+brick1, brick2 and brick3.
+
+ All the read operations happen from the first alive child. If all the
+three sub-volumes are up, reads will be done from brick1; if brick1 is
+down read will be done from brick2. In case read() was being done on
+brick1 and it goes down, replicate transparently falls back to brick2.
+
+ The next release of GlusterFS will add the following features:
+ * Ability to specify the sub-volume from which read operations are
+ to be done (this will help users who have one of the sub-volumes
+ as a local storage volume).
+
+ * Allow scheduling of read operations amongst the sub-volumes in a
+ round-robin fashion.
+
+ The order of the subvolumes list should be same across all the
+'replicate's as they will be used for locking purposes.
+
+4.3.2.1 Self Heal
+.................
+
+Replicate has self-heal feature, which updates the outdated file and
+directory copies by the most recent versions. For example consider the
+following config:
+
+ volume replicate-example
+ type cluster/replicate
+ subvolumes brick1 brick2
+ end-volume
+
+4.3.2.2 File self-heal
+......................
+
+Now if we create a file foo.txt on replicate-example, the file will be
+created on brick1 and brick2. The file will have two extended
+attributes associated with it in the backend filesystem. One is
+trusted.afr.createtime and the other is trusted.afr.version. The
+trusted.afr.createtime xattr has the create time (in terms of seconds
+since epoch) and trusted.afr.version is a number that is incremented
+each time a file is modified. This increment happens during close
+(incase any write was done before close).
+
+ If brick1 goes down, we edit foo.txt the version gets incremented.
+Now the brick1 comes back up, when we open() on foo.txt replicate will
+check if their versions are same. If they are not same, the outdated
+copy is replaced by the latest copy and its version is updated. After
+the sync the open() proceeds in the usual manner and the application
+calling open() can continue on its access to the file.
+
+ If brick1 goes down, we delete foo.txt and create a file with the
+same name again i.e foo.txt. Now brick1 comes back up, clearly there is
+a chance that the version on brick1 being more than the version on
+brick2, this is where createtime extended attribute helps in deciding
+which the outdated copy is. Hence we need to consider both createtime
+and version to decide on the latest copy.
+
+ The version attribute is incremented during the close() call. Version
+will not be incremented in case there was no write() done. In case the
+fd that the close() gets was got by create() call, we also create the
+createtime extended attribute.
+
+4.3.2.3 Directory self-heal
+...........................
+
+Suppose brick1 goes down, we delete foo.txt, brick1 comes back up, now
+we should not create foo.txt on brick2 but we should delete foo.txt on
+brick1. We handle this situation by having the createtime and version
+attribute on the directory similar to the file. when lookup() is done
+on the directory, we compare the createtime/version attributes of the
+copies and see which files needs to be deleted and delete those files
+and update the extended attributes of the outdated directory copy.
+Each time a directory is modified (a file or a subdirectory is created
+or deleted inside the directory) and one of the subvols is down, we
+increment the directory's version.
+
+ lookup() is a call initiated by the kernel on a file or directory
+just before any access to that file or directory. In glusterfs, by
+default, lookup() will not be called in case it was called in the past
+one second on that particular file or directory.
+
+ The extended attributes can be seen in the backend filesystem using
+the `getfattr' command. (`getfattr -n trusted.afr.version <file>')

+
+4.3.3 Stripe
+------------
+
+ type cluster/stripe
+
+ The stripe translator distributes the contents of a file over its
+sub-volumes. It does this by creating a file equal in size to the
+total size of the file on each of its sub-volumes. It then writes only
+a part of the file to each sub-volume, leaving the rest of it empty.
+These empty regions are called `holes' in Unix terminology. The holes
+do not consume any disk space.
+
+ The diagram below makes this clear.
+
+
+
+You can configure stripe so that only filenames matching a pattern are
+striped. You can also configure the size of the data to be stored on
+each sub-volume.
+
+`block-size <pattern>:<size> (*:0 no striping)'
+ Distribute files matching `<pattern>' over the sub-volumes,
+ storing at least `<size>' on each sub-volume. For example,
+
+ option block-size *.mpg:1M
+
+ distributes all files ending in `.mpg', storing at least 1 MB on
+ each sub-volume.
+
+ Any number of `block-size' option lines may be present, specifying
+ different sizes for different file name patterns.

+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Read Ahead, Next: Write Behind, Up: Performance Translators
+
+4.4.1 Read Ahead
+----------------
+
+ type performance/read-ahead
+
+ The read-ahead translator pre-fetches data in advance on every read.
+This benefits applications that mostly process files in sequential
+order, since the next block of data will already be available by the
+time the application is done with the current one.
+
+ Additionally, the read-ahead translator also behaves as a
+read-aggregator. Many small read operations are combined and issued as
+fewer, larger read requests to the server.
+
+ Read-ahead deals in "pages" as the unit of data fetched. The page
+size is configurable, as is the "page count", which is the number of
+pages that are pre-fetched.
+
+ Read-ahead is best used with InfiniBand (using the ib-verbs
+transport). On FastEthernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks, GlusterFS
+can achieve the link-maximum throughput even without read-ahead, making
+it quite superflous.
+
+ Note that read-ahead only happens if the reads are perfectly
+sequential. If your application accesses data in a random fashion,
+using read-ahead might actually lead to a performance loss, since
+read-ahead will pointlessly fetch pages which won't be used by the
+application.
+
+ Options:
+`page-size <n> (256KB)'
+ The unit of data that is pre-fetched.
+
+`page-count <n> (2)'
+ The number of pages that are pre-fetched.
+
+`force-atime-update [on|off|yes|no] (off|no)'
+ Whether to force an access time (atime) update on the file on
+ every read. Without this, the atime will be slightly imprecise, as
+ it will reflect the time when the read-ahead translator read the
+ data, not when the application actually read it.
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Write Behind, Next: IO Threads, Prev: Read Ahead, Up: Performance Translators
+
+4.4.2 Write Behind
+------------------
+
+ type performance/write-behind
+
+ The write-behind translator improves the latency of a write
+operation. It does this by relegating the write operation to the
+background and returning to the application even as the write is in
+progress. Using the write-behind translator, successive write requests
+can be pipelined. This mode of write-behind operation is best used on
+the client side, to enable decreased write latency for the application.
+
+ The write-behind translator can also aggregate write requests. If the
+`aggregate-size' option is specified, then successive writes upto that
+size are accumulated and written in a single operation. This mode of
+operation is best used on the server side, as this will decrease the
+disk's head movement when multiple files are being written to in
+parallel.
+
+ The `aggregate-size' option has a default value of 128KB. Although
+this works well for most users, you should always experiment with
+different values to determine the one that will deliver maximum
+performance. This is because the performance of write-behind depends on
+your interconnect, size of RAM, and the work load.
+
+`aggregate-size <n> (128KB)'
+ Amount of data to accumulate before doing a write
+
+`flush-behind [on|yes|off|no] (off|no)'
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: IO Threads, Next: IO Cache, Prev: Write Behind, Up: Performance Translators
+
+4.4.3 IO Threads
+----------------
+
+ type performance/io-threads
+
+ The IO threads translator is intended to increase the responsiveness
+of the server to metadata operations by doing file I/O (read, write) in
+a background thread. Since the GlusterFS server is single-threaded,
+using the IO threads translator can significantly improve performance.
+This translator is best used on the server side, loaded just below the
+server protocol translator.
+
+ IO threads operates by handing out read and write requests to a
+separate thread. The total number of threads in existence at a time is
+constant, and configurable.
+
+`thread-count <n> (1)'
+ Number of threads to use.
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: IO Cache, Next: Booster, Prev: IO Threads, Up: Performance Translators
+
+4.4.4 IO Cache
+--------------
+
+ type performance/io-cache
+
+ The IO cache translator caches data that has been read. This is
+useful if many applications read the same data multiple times, and if
+reads are much more frequent than writes (for example, IO caching may be
+useful in a web hosting environment, where most clients will simply
+read some files and only a few will write to them).
+
+ The IO cache translator reads data from its child in `page-size'
+chunks. It caches data upto `cache-size' bytes. The cache is
+maintained as a prioritized least-recently-used (LRU) list, with
+priorities determined by user-specified patterns to match filenames.
+
+ When the IO cache translator detects a write operation, the cache
+for that file is flushed.
+
+ The IO cache translator periodically verifies the consistency of
+cached data, using the modification times on the files. The
+verification timeout is configurable.
+
+`page-size <n> (128KB)'
+ Size of a page.
+
+`cache-size (n) (32MB)'
+ Total amount of data to be cached.
+
+`force-revalidate-timeout <n> (1)'
+ Timeout to force a cache consistency verification, in seconds.
+
+`priority <pattern> (*:0)'
+ Filename patterns listed in order of priority.
+
+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: Booster, Prev: IO Cache, Up: Performance Translators
+
+4.4.5 Booster
+-------------
+
+ type performance/booster
+
+ The booster translator gives applications a faster path to
+communicate read and write requests to GlusterFS. Normally, all
+requests to GlusterFS from applications go through FUSE, as indicated
+in *Note Filesystems in Userspace::. Using the booster translator in
+conjunction with the GlusterFS booster shared library, an application
+can bypass the FUSE path and send read/write requests directly to the
+GlusterFS client process.
+
+ The booster mechanism consists of two parts: the booster translator,
+and the booster shared library. The booster translator is meant to be
+loaded on the client side, usually at the root of the translator tree.
+The booster shared library should be `LD_PRELOAD'ed with the
+application.
+
+ The booster translator when loaded opens a Unix domain socket and
+listens for read/write requests on it. The booster shared library
+intercepts read and write system calls and sends the requests to the
+GlusterFS process directly using the Unix domain socket, bypassing FUSE.
+This leads to superior performance.
+
+ Once you've loaded the booster translator in your volume
+specification file, you can start your application as:
+
+ $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/bin/glusterfs-booster.so your_app
+
+ The booster translator accepts no options.

+
+File: user-guide.info, Node: POSIX Locks, Next: Fixed ID, Up: Features Translators
+
+4.5.1 POSIX Locks
+-----------------
+
+ type features/posix-locks
+
+ This translator provides storage independent POSIX record locking
+support (`fcntl' locking). Typically you'll want to load this on the
+server side, just above the POSIX storage translator. Using this
+translator you can get both advisory locking and mandatory locking
+support. It also handles `flock()' locks properly.
+
+ Caveat: Consider a file that does not have its mandatory locking bits
+(+setgid, -group execution) turned on. Assume that this file is now
+opened by a process on a client that has the write-behind xlator
+loaded. The write-behind xlator does not cache anything for files which
+have mandatory locking enabled, to avoid incoherence. Let's say that
+mandatory locking is now enabled on this file through another client.
+The former client will not know about this change, and write-behind may
+erroneously report a write as being successful when in fact it would
+fail due to the region it is writing to being locked.
+
+ There seems to be no easy way to fix this. To work around this
+problem, it is recommended that you never enable the mandatory bits on
+a file while it is open.
+
+`mandatory [on|off] (on)'

+
+ ROT-13 is a toy translator that can "encrypt" and "decrypt" file
+contents using the ROT-13 algorithm. ROT-13 is a trivial algorithm that
+rotates each alphabet by thirteen places. Thus, 'A' becomes 'N', 'B'
+becomes 'O', and 'Z' becomes 'M'.

+
+5 Usage Scenarios
+*****************
+
+5.1 Advanced Striping
+=====================
+
+This section is based on the Advanced Striping tutorial written by
+Anand Avati on the GlusterFS wiki (1).
+
+5.1.1 Mixed Storage Requirements
+--------------------------------
+
+There are two ways of scheduling the I/O. One at file level (using
+unify translator) and other at block level (using stripe translator).
+Striped I/O is good for files that are potentially large and require
+high parallel throughput (for example, a single file of 400GB being
+accessed by 100s and 1000s of systems simultaneously and randomly). For
+most of the cases, file level scheduling works best.
+
+ In the real world, it is desirable to mix file level and block level
+scheduling on a single storage volume. Alternatively users can choose
+to have two separate volumes and hence two mount points, but the
+applications may demand a single storage system to host both.
+
+ This document explains how to mix file level scheduling with stripe.
+
+5.1.2 Configuration Brief
+-------------------------
+
+This setup demonstrates how users can configure unify translator with
+appropriate I/O scheduler for file level scheduling and strip for only
+matching patterns. This way, GlusterFS chooses appropriate I/O profile
+and knows how to efficiently handle both the types of data.
+
+ A simple technique to achieve this effect is to create a stripe set
+of unify and stripe blocks, where unify is the first sub-volume. Files
+that do not match the stripe policy passed on to first unify sub-volume
+and inturn scheduled arcoss the cluster using its file level I/O
+scheduler.
+
+ 5.1.3 Preparing GlusterFS Envoronment
+-------------------------------------
+
+Create the directories /export/namespace, /export/unify and
+/export/stripe on all the storage bricks.
+
+ Place the following server and client volume spec file under
+/etc/glusterfs (or appropriate installed path) and replace the IP
+addresses / access control fields to match your environment.
+
+ ## file: /etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol

+
+ Bring up the Storage
+
+ Starting GlusterFS Server: If you have installed through binary

+not:
+
+ [root@server]# glusterfsd
+
+ Mounting GlusterFS Volumes:
+
+ [root@client]# glusterfs -s [BRICK-IP-ADDRESS] /mnt/cluster
+
+ Improving upon this Setup
+
+ Infiniband Verbs RDMA transport is much faster than TCP/IP GigE
+transport.
+
+ Use of performance translators such as read-ahead, write-behind,
+io-cache, io-threads, booster is recommended.
+
+ Replace round-robin (rr) scheduler with ALU to handle more dynamic
+storage environments.

+6 Troubleshooting
+*****************
+
+This chapter is a general troubleshooting guide to GlusterFS. It lists
+common GlusterFS server and client error messages, debugging hints, and
+concludes with the suggested procedure to report bugs in GlusterFS.
+
+6.1 GlusterFS error messages
+============================
+
+6.1.1 Server errors
+-------------------
+
+ glusterfsd: FATAL: could not open specfile:
+ '/etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol'
+
+ The GlusterFS server expects the volume specification file to be at
+`/etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol'. The example specification file will be
+installed as `/etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol.sample'. You need to edit
+it and rename it, or provide a different specification file using the
+`--spec-file' command line option (See *Note Server::).
+
+ gf_log_init: failed to open logfile "/usr/var/log/glusterfs/glusterfsd.log"
+ (Permission denied)
+
+ You don't have permission to create files in the
+`/usr/var/log/glusterfs' directory. Make sure you are running GlusterFS
+as root. Alternatively, specify a different path for the log file using
+the `--log-file' option (See *Note Server::).
+
+6.1.2 Client errors
+-------------------
+
+ fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /mnt:
+ Transport endpoint is not connected
+
+ A previous failed (or hung) mount of GlusterFS is preventing it from
+being mounted again in the same location. The fix is to do:
+
+ # umount /mnt
+
+ and try mounting again.
+
+ *"Transport endpoint is not connected".*
+
+ If you get this error when you try a command such as `ls' or `cat',
+it means the GlusterFS mount did not succeed. Try running GlusterFS in
+`DEBUG' logging level and study the log messages to discover the cause.
+
+ *"Connect to server failed", "SERVER-ADDRESS: Connection refused".*
+
+ GluserFS Server is not running or dead. Check your network
+connections and firewall settings. To check if the server is reachable,
+try:
+
+ telnet IP-ADDRESS 6996
+
+ If the server is accessible, your `telnet' command should connect and
+block. If not you will see an error message such as `telnet: Unable to
+connect to remote host: Connection refused'. 6996 is the default
+GlusterFS port. If you have changed it, then use the corresponding port
+instead.
+
+ gf_log_init: failed to open logfile "/usr/var/log/glusterfs/glusterfs.log"
+ (Permission denied)
+
+ You don't have permission to create files in the
+`/usr/var/log/glusterfs' directory. Make sure you are running GlusterFS
+as root. Alternatively, specify a different path for the log file using
+the `--log-file' option (See *Note Client::).
+
+6.2 FUSE error messages
+=======================
+
+`modprobe fuse' fails with: "Unknown symbol in module, or unknown
+parameter".
+
+ If you are using fuse-2.6.x on Redhat Enterprise Linux Work Station 4
+and Advanced Server 4 with 2.6.9-42.ELlargesmp, 2.6.9-42.ELsmp,
+2.6.9-42.EL kernels and get this error while loading FUSE kernel
+module, you need to apply the following patch.
+
+ For fuse-2.6.2:
+
+<http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/fuse-2.6.2-rhel-build.patch>
+
+ For fuse-2.6.3:
+
+<http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/fuse-2.6.3-rhel-build.patch>
+
+6.3 AppArmour and GlusterFS
+===========================
+
+Under OpenSuSE GNU/Linux, the AppArmour security feature does not allow
+GlusterFS to create temporary files or network socket connections even
+while running as root. You will see error messages like `Unable to open
+log file: Operation not permitted' or `Connection refused'. Disabling
+AppArmour using YaST or properly configuring AppArmour to recognize
+`glusterfsd' or `glusterfs'/`fusermount' should solve the problem.
+
+6.4 Reporting a bug
+===================
+
+If you encounter a bug in GlusterFS, please follow the below guidelines
+when you report it to the mailing list. Be sure to report it! User
+feedback is crucial to the health of the project and we value it highly.
+
+6.4.1 General instructions
+--------------------------
+
+When running GlusterFS in a non-production environment, be sure to
+build it with the following command:
+
+ $ make CFLAGS='-g -O0 -DDEBUG'
+
+ This includes debugging information which will be helpful in getting
+backtraces (see below) and also disable optimization. Enabling
+optimization can result in incorrect line numbers being reported to gdb.
+
+6.4.2 Volume specification files
+--------------------------------
+
+Attach all relevant server and client spec files you were using when
+you encountered the bug. Also tell us details of your setup, i.e., how
+many clients and how many servers.
+
+6.4.3 Log files
+---------------
+
+Set the loglevel of your client and server programs to DEBUG (by
+passing the -L DEBUG option) and attach the log files with your bug
+report. Obviously, if only the client is failing (for example), you
+only need to send us the client log file.
+
+6.4.4 Backtrace
+---------------
+
+If GlusterFS has encountered a segmentation fault or has crashed for
+some other reason, include the backtrace with the bug report. You can
+get the backtrace using the following procedure.
+
+ Run the GlusterFS client or server inside gdb.
+
+ $ gdb ./glusterfs
+ (gdb) set args -f client.spec -N -l/path/to/log/file -LDEBUG /mnt/point
+ (gdb) run
+
+ Now when the process segfaults, you can get the backtrace by typing:
+
+ (gdb) bt
+
+ If the GlusterFS process has crashed and dumped a core file (you can
+find this in / if running as a daemon and in the current directory
+otherwise), you can do:
+
+ $ gdb /path/to/glusterfs /path/to/core.<pid>
+
+ and then get the backtrace.

+Appendix A GNU Free Documentation Licence
+*****************************************
+
+ Version 1.2, November 2002
+
+ Copyright (C) 2000,2001,2002 Free Software Foundation, Inc.
+ 59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA
+
+ Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies
+ of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.
+
+ 0. PREAMBLE
+
+ The purpose of this License is to make a manual, textbook, or other
+ functional and useful document "free" in the sense of freedom: to
+ assure everyone the effective freedom to copy and redistribute it,
+ with or without modifying it, either commercially or
+ noncommercially. Secondarily, this License preserves for the
+ author and publisher a way to get credit for their work, while not
+ being considered responsible for modifications made by others.
+
+ This License is a kind of "copyleft", which means that derivative
+ works of the document must themselves be free in the same sense.
+ It complements the GNU General Public License, which is a copyleft
+ license designed for free software.
+
+ We have designed this License in order to use it for manuals for
+ free software, because free software needs free documentation: a
+ free program should come with manuals providing the same freedoms
+ that the software does. But this License is not limited to
+ software manuals; it can be used for any textual work, regardless
+ of subject matter or whether it is published as a printed book.
+ We recommend this License principally for works whose purpose is
+ instruction or reference.
+
+ 1. APPLICABILITY AND DEFINITIONS
+
+ This License applies to any manual or other work, in any medium,
+ that contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it
+ can be distributed under the terms of this License. Such a notice
+ grants a world-wide, royalty-free license, unlimited in duration,
+ to use that work under the conditions stated herein. The
+ "Document", below, refers to any such manual or work. Any member
+ of the public is a licensee, and is addressed as "you". You
+ accept the license if you copy, modify or distribute the work in a
+ way requiring permission under copyright law.
+
+ A "Modified Version" of the Document means any work containing the
+ Document or a portion of it, either copied verbatim, or with
+ modifications and/or translated into another language.
+
+ A "Secondary Section" is a named appendix or a front-matter section
+ of the Document that deals exclusively with the relationship of the
+ publishers or authors of the Document to the Document's overall
+ subject (or to related matters) and contains nothing that could
+ fall directly within that overall subject. (Thus, if the Document
+ is in part a textbook of mathematics, a Secondary Section may not
+ explain any mathematics.) The relationship could be a matter of
+ historical connection with the subject or with related matters, or
+ of legal, commercial, philosophical, ethical or political position
+ regarding them.
+
+ The "Invariant Sections" are certain Secondary Sections whose
+ titles are designated, as being those of Invariant Sections, in
+ the notice that says that the Document is released under this
+ License. If a section does not fit the above definition of
+ Secondary then it is not allowed to be designated as Invariant.
+ The Document may contain zero Invariant Sections. If the Document
+ does not identify any Invariant Sections then there are none.
+
+ The "Cover Texts" are certain short passages of text that are
+ listed, as Front-Cover Texts or Back-Cover Texts, in the notice
+ that says that the Document is released under this License. A
+ Front-Cover Text may be at most 5 words, and a Back-Cover Text may
+ be at most 25 words.
+
+ A "Transparent" copy of the Document means a machine-readable copy,
+ represented in a format whose specification is available to the
+ general public, that is suitable for revising the document
+ straightforwardly with generic text editors or (for images
+ composed of pixels) generic paint programs or (for drawings) some
+ widely available drawing editor, and that is suitable for input to
+ text formatters or for automatic translation to a variety of
+ formats suitable for input to text formatters. A copy made in an
+ otherwise Transparent file format whose markup, or absence of
+ markup, has been arranged to thwart or discourage subsequent
+ modification by readers is not Transparent. An image format is
+ not Transparent if used for any substantial amount of text. A
+ copy that is not "Transparent" is called "Opaque".
+
+ Examples of suitable formats for Transparent copies include plain
+ ASCII without markup, Texinfo input format, LaTeX input format,
+ SGML or XML using a publicly available DTD, and
+ standard-conforming simple HTML, PostScript or PDF designed for
+ human modification. Examples of transparent image formats include
+ PNG, XCF and JPG. Opaque formats include proprietary formats that
+ can be read and edited only by proprietary word processors, SGML or
+ XML for which the DTD and/or processing tools are not generally
+ available, and the machine-generated HTML, PostScript or PDF
+ produced by some word processors for output purposes only.
+
+ The "Title Page" means, for a printed book, the title page itself,
+ plus such following pages as are needed to hold, legibly, the
+ material this License requires to appear in the title page. For
+ works in formats which do not have any title page as such, "Title
+ Page" means the text near the most prominent appearance of the
+ work's title, preceding the beginning of the body of the text.
+
+ A section "Entitled XYZ" means a named subunit of the Document
+ whose title either is precisely XYZ or contains XYZ in parentheses
+ following text that translates XYZ in another language. (Here XYZ
+ stands for a specific section name mentioned below, such as
+ "Acknowledgements", "Dedications", "Endorsements", or "History".)
+ To "Preserve the Title" of such a section when you modify the
+ Document means that it remains a section "Entitled XYZ" according
+ to this definition.
+
+ The Document may include Warranty Disclaimers next to the notice
+ which states that this License applies to the Document. These
+ Warranty Disclaimers are considered to be included by reference in
+ this License, but only as regards disclaiming warranties: any other
+ implication that these Warranty Disclaimers may have is void and
+ has no effect on the meaning of this License.
+
+ 2. VERBATIM COPYING
+
+ You may copy and distribute the Document in any medium, either
+ commercially or noncommercially, provided that this License, the
+ copyright notices, and the license notice saying this License
+ applies to the Document are reproduced in all copies, and that you
+ add no other conditions whatsoever to those of this License. You
+ may not use technical measures to obstruct or control the reading
+ or further copying of the copies you make or distribute. However,
+ you may accept compensation in exchange for copies. If you
+ distribute a large enough number of copies you must also follow
+ the conditions in section 3.
+
+ You may also lend copies, under the same conditions stated above,
+ and you may publicly display copies.
+
+ 3. COPYING IN QUANTITY
+
+ If you publish printed copies (or copies in media that commonly
+ have printed covers) of the Document, numbering more than 100, and
+ the Document's license notice requires Cover Texts, you must
+ enclose the copies in covers that carry, clearly and legibly, all
+ these Cover Texts: Front-Cover Texts on the front cover, and
+ Back-Cover Texts on the back cover. Both covers must also clearly
+ and legibly identify you as the publisher of these copies. The
+ front cover must present the full title with all words of the
+ title equally prominent and visible. You may add other material
+ on the covers in addition. Copying with changes limited to the
+ covers, as long as they preserve the title of the Document and
+ satisfy these conditions, can be treated as verbatim copying in
+ other respects.
+
+ If the required texts for either cover are too voluminous to fit
+ legibly, you should put the first ones listed (as many as fit
+ reasonably) on the actual cover, and continue the rest onto
+ adjacent pages.
+
+ If you publish or distribute Opaque copies of the Document
+ numbering more than 100, you must either include a
+ machine-readable Transparent copy along with each Opaque copy, or
+ state in or with each Opaque copy a computer-network location from
+ which the general network-using public has access to download
+ using public-standard network protocols a complete Transparent
+ copy of the Document, free of added material. If you use the
+ latter option, you must take reasonably prudent steps, when you
+ begin distribution of Opaque copies in quantity, to ensure that
+ this Transparent copy will remain thus accessible at the stated
+ location until at least one year after the last time you
+ distribute an Opaque copy (directly or through your agents or
+ retailers) of that edition to the public.
+
+ It is requested, but not required, that you contact the authors of
+ the Document well before redistributing any large number of
+ copies, to give them a chance to provide you with an updated
+ version of the Document.
+
+ 4. MODIFICATIONS
+
+ You may copy and distribute a Modified Version of the Document
+ under the conditions of sections 2 and 3 above, provided that you
+ release the Modified Version under precisely this License, with
+ the Modified Version filling the role of the Document, thus
+ licensing distribution and modification of the Modified Version to
+ whoever possesses a copy of it. In addition, you must do these
+ things in the Modified Version:
+
+ A. Use in the Title Page (and on the covers, if any) a title
+ distinct from that of the Document, and from those of
+ previous versions (which should, if there were any, be listed
+ in the History section of the Document). You may use the
+ same title as a previous version if the original publisher of
+ that version gives permission.
+
+ B. List on the Title Page, as authors, one or more persons or
+ entities responsible for authorship of the modifications in
+ the Modified Version, together with at least five of the
+ principal authors of the Document (all of its principal
+ authors, if it has fewer than five), unless they release you
+ from this requirement.
+
+ C. State on the Title page the name of the publisher of the
+ Modified Version, as the publisher.
+
+ D. Preserve all the copyright notices of the Document.
+
+ E. Add an appropriate copyright notice for your modifications
+ adjacent to the other copyright notices.
+
+ F. Include, immediately after the copyright notices, a license
+ notice giving the public permission to use the Modified
+ Version under the terms of this License, in the form shown in
+ the Addendum below.
+
+ G. Preserve in that license notice the full lists of Invariant
+ Sections and required Cover Texts given in the Document's
+ license notice.
+
+ H. Include an unaltered copy of this License.
+
+ I. Preserve the section Entitled "History", Preserve its Title,
+ and add to it an item stating at least the title, year, new
+ authors, and publisher of the Modified Version as given on
+ the Title Page. If there is no section Entitled "History" in
+ the Document, create one stating the title, year, authors,
+ and publisher of the Document as given on its Title Page,
+ then add an item describing the Modified Version as stated in
+ the previous sentence.
+
+ J. Preserve the network location, if any, given in the Document
+ for public access to a Transparent copy of the Document, and
+ likewise the network locations given in the Document for
+ previous versions it was based on. These may be placed in
+ the "History" section. You may omit a network location for a
+ work that was published at least four years before the
+ Document itself, or if the original publisher of the version
+ it refers to gives permission.
+
+ K. For any section Entitled "Acknowledgements" or "Dedications",
+ Preserve the Title of the section, and preserve in the
+ section all the substance and tone of each of the contributor
+ acknowledgements and/or dedications given therein.
+
+ L. Preserve all the Invariant Sections of the Document,
+ unaltered in their text and in their titles. Section numbers
+ or the equivalent are not considered part of the section
+ titles.
+
+ M. Delete any section Entitled "Endorsements". Such a section
+ may not be included in the Modified Version.
+
+ N. Do not retitle any existing section to be Entitled
+ "Endorsements" or to conflict in title with any Invariant
+ Section.
+
+ O. Preserve any Warranty Disclaimers.
+
+ If the Modified Version includes new front-matter sections or
+ appendices that qualify as Secondary Sections and contain no
+ material copied from the Document, you may at your option
+ designate some or all of these sections as invariant. To do this,
+ add their titles to the list of Invariant Sections in the Modified
+ Version's license notice. These titles must be distinct from any
+ other section titles.
+
+ You may add a section Entitled "Endorsements", provided it contains
+ nothing but endorsements of your Modified Version by various
+ parties--for example, statements of peer review or that the text
+ has been approved by an organization as the authoritative
+ definition of a standard.
+
+ You may add a passage of up to five words as a Front-Cover Text,
+ and a passage of up to 25 words as a Back-Cover Text, to the end
+ of the list of Cover Texts in the Modified Version. Only one
+ passage of Front-Cover Text and one of Back-Cover Text may be
+ added by (or through arrangements made by) any one entity. If the
+ Document already includes a cover text for the same cover,
+ previously added by you or by arrangement made by the same entity
+ you are acting on behalf of, you may not add another; but you may
+ replace the old one, on explicit permission from the previous
+ publisher that added the old one.
+
+ The author(s) and publisher(s) of the Document do not by this
+ License give permission to use their names for publicity for or to
+ assert or imply endorsement of any Modified Version.
+
+ 5. COMBINING DOCUMENTS
+
+ You may combine the Document with other documents released under
+ this License, under the terms defined in section 4 above for
+ modified versions, provided that you include in the combination
+ all of the Invariant Sections of all of the original documents,
+ unmodified, and list them all as Invariant Sections of your
+ combined work in its license notice, and that you preserve all
+ their Warranty Disclaimers.
+
+ The combined work need only contain one copy of this License, and
+ multiple identical Invariant Sections may be replaced with a single
+ copy. If there are multiple Invariant Sections with the same name
+ but different contents, make the title of each such section unique
+ by adding at the end of it, in parentheses, the name of the
+ original author or publisher of that section if known, or else a
+ unique number. Make the same adjustment to the section titles in
+ the list of Invariant Sections in the license notice of the
+ combined work.
+
+ In the combination, you must combine any sections Entitled
+ "History" in the various original documents, forming one section
+ Entitled "History"; likewise combine any sections Entitled
+ "Acknowledgements", and any sections Entitled "Dedications". You
+ must delete all sections Entitled "Endorsements."
+
+ 6. COLLECTIONS OF DOCUMENTS
+
+ You may make a collection consisting of the Document and other
+ documents released under this License, and replace the individual
+ copies of this License in the various documents with a single copy
+ that is included in the collection, provided that you follow the
+ rules of this License for verbatim copying of each of the
+ documents in all other respects.
+
+ You may extract a single document from such a collection, and
+ distribute it individually under this License, provided you insert
+ a copy of this License into the extracted document, and follow
+ this License in all other respects regarding verbatim copying of
+ that document.
+
+ 7. AGGREGATION WITH INDEPENDENT WORKS
+
+ A compilation of the Document or its derivatives with other
+ separate and independent documents or works, in or on a volume of
+ a storage or distribution medium, is called an "aggregate" if the
+ copyright resulting from the compilation is not used to limit the
+ legal rights of the compilation's users beyond what the individual
+ works permit. When the Document is included in an aggregate, this
+ License does not apply to the other works in the aggregate which
+ are not themselves derivative works of the Document.
+
+ If the Cover Text requirement of section 3 is applicable to these
+ copies of the Document, then if the Document is less than one half
+ of the entire aggregate, the Document's Cover Texts may be placed
+ on covers that bracket the Document within the aggregate, or the
+ electronic equivalent of covers if the Document is in electronic
+ form. Otherwise they must appear on printed covers that bracket
+ the whole aggregate.
+
+ 8. TRANSLATION
+
+ Translation is considered a kind of modification, so you may
+ distribute translations of the Document under the terms of section
+ 4. Replacing Invariant Sections with translations requires special
+ permission from their copyright holders, but you may include
+ translations of some or all Invariant Sections in addition to the
+ original versions of these Invariant Sections. You may include a
+ translation of this License, and all the license notices in the
+ Document, and any Warranty Disclaimers, provided that you also
+ include the original English version of this License and the
+ original versions of those notices and disclaimers. In case of a
+ disagreement between the translation and the original version of
+ this License or a notice or disclaimer, the original version will
+ prevail.
+
+ If a section in the Document is Entitled "Acknowledgements",
+ "Dedications", or "History", the requirement (section 4) to
+ Preserve its Title (section 1) will typically require changing the
+ actual title.
+
+ 9. TERMINATION
+
+ You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Document
+ except as expressly provided for under this License. Any other
+ attempt to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Document is
+ void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this
+ License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights,
+ from you under this License will not have their licenses
+ terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
+
+ 10. FUTURE REVISIONS OF THIS LICENSE
+
+ The Free Software Foundation may publish new, revised versions of
+ the GNU Free Documentation License from time to time. Such new
+ versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may
+ differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. See
+ `http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/'.
+
+ Each version of the License is given a distinguishing version
+ number. If the Document specifies that a particular numbered
+ version of this License "or any later version" applies to it, you
+ have the option of following the terms and conditions either of
+ that specified version or of any later version that has been
+ published (not as a draft) by the Free Software Foundation. If
+ the Document does not specify a version number of this License,
+ you may choose any version ever published (not as a draft) by the
+ Free Software Foundation.
+
+A.0.1 ADDENDUM: How to use this License for your documents
+----------------------------------------------------------
+
+To use this License in a document you have written, include a copy of
+the License in the document and put the following copyright and license
+notices just after the title page:
+
+ Copyright (C) YEAR YOUR NAME.
+ Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document
+ under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License, Version 1.2
+ or any later version published by the Free Software Foundation;
+ with no Invariant Sections, no Front-Cover Texts, and no Back-Cover
+ Texts. A copy of the license is included in the section entitled ``GNU
+ Free Documentation License''.
+
+ If you have Invariant Sections, Front-Cover Texts and Back-Cover
+Texts, replace the "with...Texts." line with this:
+
+ with the Invariant Sections being LIST THEIR TITLES, with
+ the Front-Cover Texts being LIST, and with the Back-Cover Texts
+ being LIST.
+
+ If you have Invariant Sections without Cover Texts, or some other
+combination of the three, merge those two alternatives to suit the
+situation.
+
+ If your document contains nontrivial examples of program code, we
+recommend releasing these examples in parallel under your choice of
+free software license, such as the GNU General Public License, to
+permit their use in free software.

+
+GlusterFS is a distributed filesystem. It works at the file level,
+not block level.
+
+A network filesystem is one which allows us to access remote files. A
+distributed filesystem is one that stores data on multiple machines
+and makes them all appear to be a part of the same filesystem.
+
+Need for distributed filesystems
+
+@itemize @bullet
+@item Scalability: A distributed filesystem allows us to store more data than what can be stored on a single machine.
+
+@item Redundancy: We might want to replicate crucial data on to several machines.
+
+@item Uniform access: One can mount a remote volume (for example your home directory) from any machine and access the same data.

+@node Pre requisites
+@section Pre requisites
+
+Before installing GlusterFS make sure you have the
+following components installed.
+
+@subsection @acronym{FUSE}
+You'll need @acronym{FUSE} version 2.6.0 or higher to
+use GlusterFS. You can omit installing @acronym{FUSE} if you want to
+build @emph{only} the server. Note that you won't be able to mount
+a GlusterFS filesystem on a machine that does not have @acronym{FUSE}
+installed.
+
+@acronym{FUSE} can be downloaded from: @indicateurl{http://fuse.sourceforge.net/}
+
+To get the best performance from GlusterFS, however, it is recommended that you use
+our patched version of @acronym{FUSE}. See Patched FUSE for details.
+
+@subsection Patched FUSE
+
+The GlusterFS project maintains a patched version of @acronym{FUSE} meant to be used
+with GlusterFS. The patches increase GlusterFS performance. It is recommended that
+all users use the patched @acronym{FUSE}.
+
+The patched @acronym{FUSE} tarball can be downloaded from:
+
+@indicateurl{ftp://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/}
+
+The specific changes made to @acronym{FUSE} are:
+
+@itemize
+@item The communication channel size between @acronym{FUSE} kernel module and GlusterFS has been increased to 1MB, permitting large reads and writes to be sent in bigger chunks.
+
+@item The kernel's read-ahead boundry has been extended upto 1MB.
+
+@item Block size returned in the @command{stat()}/@command{fstat()} calls tuned to 1MB, to make cp and similar commands perform I/O using that block size.
+
+@item @command{flock()} locking support has been added (although some rework in GlusterFS is needed for perfect compliance).
+@end itemize
+
+@subsection libibverbs (optional)
+@cindex InfiniBand, installation
+@cindex libibverbs
+This is only needed if you want GlusterFS to use InfiniBand as the
+interconnect mechanism between server and client. You can get it from:
+
+@indicateurl{http://www.openfabrics.org/downloads.htm}.
+
+@subsection Bison and Flex
+These should be already installed on most Linux systems. If not, use your distribution's
+normal software installation procedures to install them. Make sure you install the
+relevant developer packages also.
+
+@node Getting GlusterFS
+@section Getting GlusterFS
+@cindex arch
+There are many ways to get hold of GlusterFS. For a production deployment,
+the recommended method is to download the latest release tarball.
+Release tarballs are available at: @indicateurl{http://gluster.org/download.php}.
+
+If you want the bleeding edge development source, you can get them
+from the @acronym{GNU}
+Arch@footnote{@indicateurl{http://www.gnu.org/software/gnu-arch/}}
+repository. First you must install @acronym{GNU} Arch itself. Then
+register the GlusterFS archive by doing:
+
+@example
+$ tla register-archive http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/gluster
+@end example
+
+Now you can check out the source itself:
+
+@example
+$ tla get -A gluster@@sv.gnu.org glusterfs--mainline--3.0
+@end example
+
+@node Building
+@section Building
+You can skip this section if you're installing from @acronym{RPM}s
+or @acronym{DEB}s.
+
+GlusterFS uses the Autotools mechanism to build. As such, the procedure
+is straight-forward. First, change into the GlusterFS source directory.
+
+@example
+$ cd glusterfs-<version>
+@end example
+
+If you checked out the source from the Arch repository, you'll need
+to run @command{./autogen.sh} first. Note that you'll need to have
+Autoconf and Automake installed for this.
+
+Run @command{configure}.
+
+@example
+$ ./configure
+@end example
+
+The configure script accepts the following options:
+
+@cartouche
+@table @code
+
+@item --disable-ibverbs
+Disable the InfiniBand transport mechanism.
+
+@item --disable-fuse-client
+Disable the @acronym{FUSE} client.
+
+@item --disable-server
+Disable building of the GlusterFS server.
+
+@item --disable-bdb
+Disable building of Berkeley DB based storage translator.
+
+@item --disable-mod_glusterfs
+Disable building of Apache/lighttpd glusterfs plugins.
+
+@item --disable-epoll
+Use poll instead of epoll.
+
+@item --disable-libglusterfsclient
+Disable building of libglusterfsclient
+
+@end table
+@end cartouche
+
+Build and install GlusterFS.
+
+@example
+# make install
+@end example
+
+The binaries (@command{glusterfsd} and @command{glusterfs}) will be by
+default installed in @command{/usr/local/sbin/}. Translator,
+scheduler, and transport shared libraries will be installed in
+@command{/usr/local/lib/glusterfs/<version>/}. Sample volume
+specification files will be in @command{/usr/local/etc/glusterfs/}.
+This document itself can be found in
+@command{/usr/local/share/doc/glusterfs/}. If you passed the @command{--prefix}
+argument to the configure script, then replace @command{/usr/local} in the preceding
+paths with the prefix.

+@node A Tutorial Introduction
+@section A Tutorial Introduction
+
+This section will show you how to quickly get GlusterFS up and running. We'll
+configure GlusterFS as a simple network filesystem, with one server and one client.
+In this mode of usage, GlusterFS can serve as a replacement for NFS.
+
+We'll make use of two machines; call them @emph{server} and
+@emph{client} (If you don't want to setup two machines, just run
+everything that follows on the same machine). In the examples that
+follow, the shell prompts will use these names to clarify the machine
+on which the command is being run. For example, a command that should
+be run on the server will be shown with the prompt:
+
+@example
+[root@@server]#
+@end example
+
+Our goal is to make a directory on the @emph{server} (say, @command{/export})
+accessible to the @emph{client}.
+
+First of all, get GlusterFS installed on both the machines, as described in the
+previous sections. Make sure you have the @acronym{FUSE} kernel module loaded. You
+can ensure this by running:
+
+@example
+[root@@server]# modprobe fuse
+@end example
+
+Before we can run the GlusterFS client or server programs, we need to write
+two files called @emph{volume specifications} (equivalently refered to as @emph{volfiles}).
+The volfile describes the @emph{translator tree} on a node. The next chapter will
+explain the concepts of `translator' and `volume specification' in detail. For now,
+just assume that the volfile is like an NFS @command{/etc/export} file.
+
+On the server, create a text file somewhere (we'll assume the path
+@command{/tmp/glusterfsd.vol}) with the following contents.
+
+@cartouche
+@example
+volume colon-o
+ type storage/posix
+ option directory /export
+end-volume
+
+volume server
+ type protocol/server
+ subvolumes colon-o
+ option transport-type tcp
+ option auth.addr.colon-o.allow *
+end-volume
+@end example
+@end cartouche
+
+A brief explanation of the file's contents. The first section defines a storage
+volume, named ``colon-o'' (the volume names are arbitrary), which exports the
+@command{/export} directory. The second section defines options for the translator
+which will make the storage volume accessible remotely. It specifies @command{colon-o} as
+a subvolume. This defines the @emph{translator tree}, about which more will be said
+in the next chapter. The two options specify that the @acronym{TCP} protocol is to be
+used (as opposed to InfiniBand, for example), and that access to the storage volume
+is to be provided to clients with any @acronym{IP} address at all. If you wanted to
+restrict access to this server to only your subnet for example, you'd specify
+something like @command{192.168.1.*} in the second option line.
+
+On the client machine, create the following text file (again, we'll assume
+the path to be @command{/tmp/glusterfs-client.vol}). Replace
+@emph{server-ip-address} with the @acronym{IP} address of your server machine. If you
+are doing all this on a single machine, use @command{127.0.0.1}.
+
+@cartouche
+@example
+volume client
+ type protocol/client
+ option transport-type tcp
+ option remote-host @emph{server-ip-address}
+ option remote-subvolume colon-o
+end-volume
+@end example
+@end cartouche
+
+Now we need to start both the server and client programs. To start the server:
+
+@example
+[root@@server]# glusterfsd -f /tmp/glusterfs-server.vol
+@end example
+
+To start the client:
+
+@example
+[root@@client]# glusterfs -f /tmp/glusterfs-client.vol /mnt/glusterfs
+@end example
+
+You should now be able to see the files under the server's @command{/export} directory
+in the @command{/mnt/glusterfs} directory on the client. That's it; GlusterFS is now
+working as a network file system.

+
+@node Filesystems in Userspace
+@section Filesystems in Userspace
+
+A filesystem is usually implemented in kernel space. Kernel space
+development is much harder than userspace development. @acronym{FUSE}
+is a kernel module/library that allows us to write a filesystem
+completely in userspace.
+
+@acronym{FUSE} consists of a kernel module which interacts with the userspace
+implementation using a device file @code{/dev/fuse}. When a process
+makes a syscall on a @acronym{FUSE} filesystem, @acronym{VFS} hands the request to the
+@acronym{FUSE} module, which writes the request to @code{/dev/fuse}. The
+userspace implementation polls @code{/dev/fuse}, and when a request arrives,
+processes it and writes the result back to @code{/dev/fuse}. The kernel then
+reads from the device file and returns the result to the user process.
+
+In case of GlusterFS, the userspace program is the GlusterFS client.
+The control flow is shown in the diagram below. The GlusterFS client
+services the request by sending it to the server, which in turn
+hands it to the local @acronym{POSIX} filesystem.
+
+@center @image{fuse,44pc,,,.pdf}
+@center Fig 1. Control flow in GlusterFS
+
+@node Translator
+@section Translator
+
+The @emph{translator} is the most important concept in GlusterFS. In
+fact, GlusterFS is nothing but a collection of translators working
+together, forming a translator @emph{tree}.
+
+The idea of a translator is perhaps best understood using an
+analogy. Consider the @acronym{VFS} in the Linux kernel. The
+@acronym{VFS} abstracts the various filesystem implementations (such
+as @acronym{EXT3}, ReiserFS, @acronym{XFS}, etc.) supported by the
+kernel. When an application calls the kernel to perform an operation
+on a file, the kernel passes the request on to the appropriate
+filesystem implementation.
+
+For example, let's say there are two partitions on a Linux machine:
+@command{/}, which is an @acronym{EXT3} partition, and @command{/usr},
+which is a ReiserFS partition. Now if an application wants to open a
+file called, say, @command{/etc/fstab}, then the kernel will
+internally pass the request to the @acronym{EXT3} implementation. If
+on the other hand, an application wants to read a file called
+@command{/usr/src/linux/CREDITS}, then the kernel will call upon the
+ReiserFS implementation to do the job.
+
+The ``filesystem implementation'' objects are analogous to GlusterFS
+translators. A GlusterFS translator implements all the filesystem
+operations. Whereas in @acronym{VFS} there is a two-level tree (with
+the kernel at the root and all the filesystem implementation as its
+children), in GlusterFS there exists a more elaborate tree structure.
+
+We can now define translators more precisely. A GlusterFS translator
+is a shared object (@command{.so}) that implements every filesystem
+call. GlusterFS translators can be arranged in an arbitrary tree
+structure (subject to constraints imposed by the translators). When
+GlusterFS receives a filesystem call, it passes it on to the
+translator at the root of the translator tree. The root translator may
+in turn pass it on to any or all of its children, and so on, until the
+leaf nodes are reached. The result of a filesystem call is
+communicated in the reverse fashion, from the leaf nodes up to the
+root node, and then on to the application.
+
+So what might a translator tree look like?
+
+@tex
+\vfill
+@end tex
+@page
+
+@center @image{xlator,44pc,,,.pdf}
+@center Fig 2. A sample translator tree
+
+The diagram depicts three servers and one GlusterFS client. It is important
+to note that conceptually, the translator tree spans machine boundaries.
+Thus, the client machine in the diagram, @command{10.0.0.1}, can access
+the aggregated storage of the filesystems on the server machines @command{10.0.0.2},
+@command{10.0.0.3}, and @command{10.0.0.4}. The translator diagram will make more
+sense once you've read the next chapter and understood the functions of the
+various translators.
+
+@node Volume specification file
+@section Volume specification file
+The volume specification file describes the translator tree for both the
+server and client programs.
+
+A volume specification file is a sequence of volume definitions.
+The syntax of a volume definition is explained below:
+
+@cartouche
+@example
+@strong{volume} @emph{volume-name}
+ @strong{type} @emph{translator-name}
+ @strong{option} @emph{option-name} @emph{option-value}
+ @dots{}
+ @strong{subvolumes} @emph{subvolume1} @emph{subvolume2} @dots{}
+@strong{end-volume}
+@end example
+
+@dots{}
+@end cartouche
+
+@table @asis
+@item @emph{volume-name}
+ An identifier for the volume. This is just a human-readable name,
+and can contain any alphanumeric character. For instance, ``storage-1'', ``colon-o'',
+or ``forty-two''.
+
+@item @emph{translator-name}
+ Name of one of the available translators. Example: @command{protocol/client},
+@command{cluster/unify}.
+
+@item @emph{option-name}
+ Name of a valid option for the translator.
+
+@item @emph{option-value}
+ Value for the option. Everything following the ``option'' keyword to the end of the
+line is considered the value; it is up to the translator to parse it.
+
+@item @emph{subvolume1}, @emph{subvolume2}, @dots{}
+ Volume names of sub-volumes. The sub-volumes must already have been defined earlier
+in the file.
+@end table
+
+There are a few rules you must follow when writing a volume specification file:
+
+@itemize
+@item Everything following a `@command{#}' is considered a comment and is ignored. Blank lines are also ignored.
+@item All names and keywords are case-sensitive.
+@item The order of options inside a volume definition does not matter.
+@item An option value may not span multiple lines.
+@item If an option is not specified, it will assume its default value.
+@item A sub-volume must have already been defined before it can be referenced. This means you have to write the specification file ``bottom-up'', starting from the leaf nodes of the translator tree and moving up to the root.
+@end itemize
+
+A simple example volume specification file is shown below:
+
+@cartouche
+@example
+# This is a comment line
+volume client
+ type protocol/client
+ option transport-type tcp
+ option remote-host localhost # Also a comment
+ option remote-subvolume brick
+# The subvolumes line may be absent

+@node Storage Translators
+@section Storage Translators
+
+The storage translators form the ``backend'' for GlusterFS. Currently,
+the only available storage translator is the @acronym{POSIX}
+translator, which stores files on a normal @acronym{POSIX}
+filesystem. A pleasant consequence of this is that your data will
+still be accessible if GlusterFS crashes or cannot be started.
+
+Other storage backends are planned for the future. One of the possibilities is an
+Amazon S3 translator. Amazon S3 is an unlimited online storage service accessible
+through a web services @acronym{API}. The S3 translator will allow you to access
+the storage as a normal @acronym{POSIX} filesystem.

+The @command{posix} translator uses a normal @acronym{POSIX}

+
+The @command{BDB} translator uses a @acronym{Berkeley DB} database as its

+
+Each transport module comes in two different versions, one to be used on
+the server side and the other on the client side.
+
+@subsubsection TCP
+
+The @acronym{TCP} transport module uses a @acronym{TCP/IP} connection between
+the server and the client.

+@cindex DNS round robin
+@item remote-host <hostname> *
+Hostname or @acronym{IP} address of the server. If the host name resolves to
+multiple IP addresses, all of them will be tried in a round-robin fashion. This
+feature can be used to implement fail-over.

+
+@cindex infiniband transport
+
+InfiniBand is a scalable switched fabric interconnect mechanism
+primarily used in high-performance computing. InfiniBand can deliver
+data throughput of the order of 10 Gbit/s, with latencies of 4-5 ms.
+
+The @command{ib-verbs} transport accesses the InfiniBand hardware through
+the ``verbs'' @acronym{API}, which is the lowest level of software access possible
+and which gives the highest performance. On InfiniBand hardware, it is always
+best to use @command{ib-verbs}. Use @command{ib-sdp} only if you cannot get
+@command{ib-verbs} working for some reason.

+@node Clustering Translators
+@section Clustering Translators
+
+The clustering translators are the most important GlusterFS
+translators, since it is these that make GlusterFS a cluster
+filesystem. These translators together enable GlusterFS to access an
+arbitrarily large amount of storage, and provide @acronym{RAID}-like
+redundancy and distribution over the entire cluster.
+
+There are three clustering translators: @strong{unify}, @strong{replicate},
+and @strong{stripe}. The unify translator aggregates storage from
+many server nodes. The replicate translator provides file replication. The stripe
+translator allows a file to be spread across many server nodes. The following sections
+look at each of these translators in detail.
+
+@menu
+* Unify::
+* Replicate::
+* Stripe::
+@end menu
+
+@node Unify
+@subsection Unify
+@cindex unify (translator)
+@cindex scheduler (unify)
+@example
+type cluster/unify
+@end example
+
+The unify translator presents a `unified' view of all its sub-volumes. That is,
+it makes the union of all its sub-volumes appear as a single volume. It is the
+unify translator that gives GlusterFS the ability to access an arbitrarily
+large amount of storage.
+
+For unify to work correctly, certain invariants need to be maintained across
+the entire network. These are:
+
+@cindex unify invariants
+@itemize
+@item The directory structure of all the sub-volumes must be identical.
+@item A particular file can exist on only one of the sub-volumes. Phrasing it in another way, a pathname such as @command{/home/calvin/homework.txt}) is unique across the entire cluster.
+@end itemize
+
+@tex
+\vfill
+@end tex
+@page
+
+@center @image{unify,44pc,,,.pdf}
+
+Looking at the second requirement, you might wonder how one can
+accomplish storing redundant copies of a file, if no file can exist
+multiple times. To answer, we must remember that these invariants are
+from @emph{unify's perspective}. A translator such as replicate at a lower
+level in the translator tree than unify may subvert this picture.
+
+The first invariant might seem quite tedious to ensure. We shall see
+later that this is not so, since unify's @emph{self-heal} mechanism
+takes care of maintaining it.
+
+The second invariant implies that unify needs some way to decide which file goes where.
+Unify makes use of @emph{scheduler} modules for this purpose.
+
+When a file needs to be created, unify's scheduler decides upon the
+sub-volume to be used to store the file. There are many schedulers
+available, each using a different algorithm and suitable for different
+purposes.
+
+The various schedulers are described in detail in the sections that follow.
+
+@subsubsection ALU
+@cindex alu (scheduler)
+
+@example
+ option scheduler alu
+@end example
+
+ALU stands for "Adaptive Least Usage". It is the most advanced
+scheduler available in GlusterFS. It balances the load across volumes
+taking several factors in account. It adapts itself to changing I/O
+patterns according to its configuration. When properly configured, it
+can eliminate the need for regular tuning of the filesystem to keep
+volume load nicely balanced.
+
+The ALU scheduler is composed of multiple least-usage
+sub-schedulers. Each sub-scheduler keeps track of a certain type of
+load, for each of the sub-volumes, getting statistics from
+the sub-volumes themselves. The sub-schedulers are these:
+
+@itemize
+@item disk-usage: The used and free disk space on the volume.
+
+@item read-usage: The amount of reading done from this volume.
+
+@item write-usage: The amount of writing done to this volume.
+
+@item open-files-usage: The number of files currently open from this volume.
+
+@item disk-speed-usage: The speed at which the disks are spinning. This is a constant value and therefore not very useful.
+@end itemize
+
+The ALU scheduler needs to know which of these sub-schedulers to use,
+and in which order to evaluate them. This is done through the
+@command{option alu.order} configuration directive.
+
+Each sub-scheduler needs to know two things: when to kick in (the
+entry-threshold), and how long to stay in control (the
+exit-threshold). For example: when unifying three disks of 100GB,
+keeping an exact balance of disk-usage is not necesary. Instead, there
+could be a 1GB margin, which can be used to nicely balance other
+factors, such as read-usage. The disk-usage scheduler can be told to
+kick in only when a certain threshold of discrepancy is passed, such
+as 1GB. When it assumes control under this condition, it will write
+all subsequent data to the least-used volume. If it is doing so, it is
+unwise to stop right after the values are below the entry-threshold
+again, since that would make it very likely that the situation will
+occur again very soon. Such a situation would cause the ALU to spend
+most of its time disk-usage scheduling, which is unfair to the other
+sub-schedulers. The exit-threshold therefore defines the amount of
+data that needs to be written to the least-used disk, before control
+is relinquished again.
+
+In addition to the sub-schedulers, the ALU scheduler also has "limits"
+options. These can stop the creation of new files on a volume once
+values drop below a certain threshold. For example, setting
+@command{option alu.limits.min-free-disk 5GB} will stop the scheduling
+of files to volumes that have less than 5GB of free disk space,
+leaving the files on that disk some room to grow.
+
+The actual values you assign to the thresholds for sub-schedulers and
+limits depend on your situation. If you have fast-growing files,
+you'll want to stop file-creation on a disk much earlier than when
+hardly any of your files are growing. If you care less about
+disk-usage balance than about read-usage balance, you'll want a bigger
+disk-usage scheduler entry-threshold and a smaller read-usage
+scheduler entry-threshold.
+
+For thresholds defining a size, values specifying "KB", "MB" and "GB"
+are allowed. For example: @command{option alu.limits.min-free-disk 5GB}.
+
+@cartouche
+@table @code
+@item alu.order <order> * ("disk-usage:write-usage:read-usage:open-files-usage:disk-speed")

+@item alu.disk-usage.exit-threshold <size> (512MB)

+@item alu.limits.max-open-files <n>
+@end table
+@end cartouche
+
+@subsubsection Round Robin (RR)
+@cindex rr (scheduler)
+
+@example
+ option scheduler rr
+@end example
+
+Round-Robin (RR) scheduler creates files in a round-robin
+fashion. Each client will have its own round-robin loop. When your
+files are mostly similar in size and I/O access pattern, this
+scheduler is a good choice. RR scheduler checks for free disk space
+on the server before scheduling, so you can know when to add
+another server node. The default value of min-free-disk is 5% and is
+checked on file creation calls, with atleast 10 seconds (by default)
+elapsing between two checks.
+
+Options:
+@cartouche
+@table @code
+@item rr.limits.min-free-disk <%> (5)
+Minimum free disk space a node must have for RR to schedule a file to it.
+@item rr.refresh-interval <t> (10 seconds)
+Time between two successive free disk space checks.
+@end table
+@end cartouche
+
+@subsubsection Random
+@cindex random (scheduler)
+
+@example
+ option scheduler random
+@end example
+
+The random scheduler schedules file creation randomly among its child nodes.
+Like the round-robin scheduler, it also checks for a minimum amount of free disk
+space before scheduling a file to a node.
+
+@cartouche
+@table @code
+@item random.limits.min-free-disk <%> (5)
+Minimum free disk space a node must have for random to schedule a file to it.
+@item random.refresh-interval <t> (10 seconds)
+Time between two successive free disk space checks.
+@end table
+@end cartouche
+
+@subsubsection NUFA
+@cindex nufa (scheduler)
+
+@example
+ option scheduler nufa
+@end example
+
+It is common in many GlusterFS computing environments for all deployed
+machines to act as both servers and clients. For example, a
+research lab may have 40 workstations each with its own storage. All
+of these workstations might act as servers exporting a volume as well
+as clients accessing the entire cluster's storage. In such a
+situation, it makes sense to store locally created files on the local
+workstation itself (assuming files are accessed most by the
+workstation that created them). The Non-Uniform File Allocation (@acronym{NUFA})
+scheduler accomplishes that.
+
+@acronym{NUFA} gives the local system first priority for file creation
+over other nodes. If the local volume does not have more free disk space
+than a specified amount (5% by default) then @acronym{NUFA} schedules files
+among the other child volumes in a round-robin fashion.
+
+@acronym{NUFA} is named after the similar strategy used for memory access,
+@acronym{NUMA}@footnote{Non-Uniform Memory Access:
+@indicateurl{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Uniform_Memory_Access}}.
+
+@cartouche
+@table @code
+@item nufa.limits.min-free-disk <%> (5)
+Minimum disk space that must be free (local or remote) for @acronym{NUFA} to schedule a
+file to it.
+@item nufa.refresh-interval <t> (10 seconds)
+Time between two successive free disk space checks.
+@item nufa.local-volume-name <volume>
+The name of the volume corresponding to the local system. This volume must be
+one of the children of the unify volume. This option is mandatory.

+@cindex namespace

+@end table
+@end cartouche
+
+@cindex self heal (unify)
+@subsubsection Self Heal
+ * When a 'lookup()/stat()' call is made on directory for the first
+time, a self-heal call is made, which checks for the consistancy of
+its child nodes. If an entry is present in storage node, but not in
+namespace, that entry is created in namespace, and vica-versa. There
+is an writedir() API introduced which is used for the same. It also
+checks for permissions, and uid/gid consistencies.
+
+ * This check is also done when an server goes down and comes up.
+
+ * If one starts with an empty namespace export, but has data in
+storage nodes, a 'find .>/dev/null' or 'ls -lR >/dev/null' should help
+to build namespace in one shot. Even otherwise, namespace is built on
+demand when a file is looked up for the first time.
+
+NOTE: There are some issues (Kernel 'Oops' msgs) seen with fuse-2.6.3,
+when someone deletes namespace in backend, when glusterfs is
+running. But with fuse-2.6.5, this issue is not there.
+
+@node Replicate
+@subsection Replicate (formerly AFR)
+@cindex Replicate
+@example
+type cluster/replicate
+@end example
+
+Replicate provides @acronym{RAID}-1 like functionality for
+GlusterFS. Replicate replicates files and directories across the
+subvolumes. Hence if Replicate has four subvolumes, there will be
+four copies of all files and directories. Replicate provides
+high-availability, i.e., in case one of the subvolumes go down
+(e. g. server crash, network disconnection) Replicate will still
+service the requests using the redundant copies.
+
+Replicate also provides self-heal functionality, i.e., in case the
+crashed servers come up, the outdated files and directories will be
+updated with the latest versions. Replicate uses extended
+attributes of the backend file system to track the versioning of files
+and directories and provide the self-heal feature.
+
+@example
+volume replicate-example
+ type cluster/replicate
+ subvolumes brick1 brick2 brick3
+end-volume
+@end example
+
+This sample configuration will replicate all directories and files on
+brick1, brick2 and brick3.
+
+All the read operations happen from the first alive child. If all the
+three sub-volumes are up, reads will be done from brick1; if brick1 is
+down read will be done from brick2. In case read() was being done on
+brick1 and it goes down, replicate transparently falls back to
+brick2.
+
+The next release of GlusterFS will add the following features:
+@itemize
+@item Ability to specify the sub-volume from which read operations are to be done (this will help users who have one of the sub-volumes as a local storage volume).
+@item Allow scheduling of read operations amongst the sub-volumes in a round-robin fashion.
+@end itemize
+
+The order of the subvolumes list should be same across all the 'replicate's as
+they will be used for locking purposes.
+
+@cindex self heal (replicate)
+@subsubsection Self Heal
+Replicate has self-heal feature, which updates the outdated file and
+directory copies by the most recent versions. For example consider the
+following config:
+
+@example
+volume replicate-example
+ type cluster/replicate
+ subvolumes brick1 brick2
+end-volume
+@end example
+
+@subsubsection File self-heal
+
+Now if we create a file foo.txt on replicate-example, the file will be created
+on brick1 and brick2. The file will have two extended attributes associated
+with it in the backend filesystem. One is trusted.afr.createtime and the
+other is trusted.afr.version. The trusted.afr.createtime xattr has the
+create time (in terms of seconds since epoch) and trusted.afr.version
+is a number that is incremented each time a file is modified. This increment
+happens during close (incase any write was done before close).
+
+If brick1 goes down, we edit foo.txt the version gets incremented. Now
+the brick1 comes back up, when we open() on foo.txt replicate will check if
+their versions are same. If they are not same, the outdated copy is
+replaced by the latest copy and its version is updated. After the sync
+the open() proceeds in the usual manner and the application calling open()
+can continue on its access to the file.
+
+If brick1 goes down, we delete foo.txt and create a file with the same
+name again i.e foo.txt. Now brick1 comes back up, clearly there is a
+chance that the version on brick1 being more than the version on brick2,
+this is where createtime extended attribute helps in deciding which
+the outdated copy is. Hence we need to consider both createtime and
+version to decide on the latest copy.
+
+The version attribute is incremented during the close() call. Version
+will not be incremented in case there was no write() done. In case the
+fd that the close() gets was got by create() call, we also create
+the createtime extended attribute.
+
+@subsubsection Directory self-heal
+
+Suppose brick1 goes down, we delete foo.txt, brick1 comes back up, now
+we should not create foo.txt on brick2 but we should delete foo.txt
+on brick1. We handle this situation by having the createtime and version
+attribute on the directory similar to the file. when lookup() is done
+on the directory, we compare the createtime/version attributes of the
+copies and see which files needs to be deleted and delete those files
+and update the extended attributes of the outdated directory copy.
+Each time a directory is modified (a file or a subdirectory is created
+or deleted inside the directory) and one of the subvols is down, we
+increment the directory's version.
+
+lookup() is a call initiated by the kernel on a file or directory
+just before any access to that file or directory. In glusterfs, by
+default, lookup() will not be called in case it was called in the
+past one second on that particular file or directory.
+
+The extended attributes can be seen in the backend filesystem using
+the @command{getfattr} command. (@command{getfattr -n trusted.afr.version <file>})

+@subsection Stripe
+@cindex stripe (translator)

+@end example
+
+The stripe translator distributes the contents of a file over its
+sub-volumes. It does this by creating a file equal in size to the
+total size of the file on each of its sub-volumes. It then writes only
+a part of the file to each sub-volume, leaving the rest of it empty.
+These empty regions are called `holes' in Unix terminology. The holes
+do not consume any disk space.
+
+The diagram below makes this clear.

+@node Read Ahead
+@subsection Read Ahead
+@cindex read-ahead (translator)
+@example
+type performance/read-ahead
+@end example
+
+The read-ahead translator pre-fetches data in advance on every read.
+This benefits applications that mostly process files in sequential order,
+since the next block of data will already be available by the time the
+application is done with the current one.
+
+Additionally, the read-ahead translator also behaves as a read-aggregator.
+Many small read operations are combined and issued as fewer, larger read
+requests to the server.
+
+Read-ahead deals in ``pages'' as the unit of data fetched. The page size
+is configurable, as is the ``page count'', which is the number of pages
+that are pre-fetched.
+
+Read-ahead is best used with InfiniBand (using the ib-verbs transport).
+On FastEthernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks,
+GlusterFS can achieve the link-maximum throughput even without
+read-ahead, making it quite superflous.
+
+Note that read-ahead only happens if the reads are perfectly
+sequential. If your application accesses data in a random fashion,
+using read-ahead might actually lead to a performance loss, since
+read-ahead will pointlessly fetch pages which won't be used by the
+application.
+

+Whether to force an access time (atime) update on the file on every read. Without

+
+@node Write Behind
+@subsection Write Behind
+@cindex write-behind (translator)
+@example
+type performance/write-behind
+@end example
+
+The write-behind translator improves the latency of a write operation.
+It does this by relegating the write operation to the background and
+returning to the application even as the write is in progress. Using the
+write-behind translator, successive write requests can be pipelined.
+This mode of write-behind operation is best used on the client side, to
+enable decreased write latency for the application.
+
+The write-behind translator can also aggregate write requests. If the
+@command{aggregate-size} option is specified, then successive writes upto that
+size are accumulated and written in a single operation. This mode of operation
+is best used on the server side, as this will decrease the disk's head movement
+when multiple files are being written to in parallel.
+
+The @command{aggregate-size} option has a default value of 128KB. Although
+this works well for most users, you should always experiment with different values
+to determine the one that will deliver maximum performance. This is because the
+performance of write-behind depends on your interconnect, size of RAM, and the
+work load.
+

+@subsection IO Threads
+@cindex io-threads (translator)
+@example
+type performance/io-threads
+@end example
+
+The IO threads translator is intended to increase the responsiveness
+of the server to metadata operations by doing file I/O (read, write)
+in a background thread. Since the GlusterFS server is
+single-threaded, using the IO threads translator can significantly
+improve performance. This translator is best used on the server side,
+loaded just below the server protocol translator.
+
+IO threads operates by handing out read and write requests to a separate thread.
+The total number of threads in existence at a time is constant, and configurable.
+
+@cartouche
+@table @code
+@item thread-count <n> (1)
+Number of threads to use.
+@end table
+@end cartouche
+
+@node IO Cache
+@subsection IO Cache
+@cindex io-cache (translator)
+@example
+type performance/io-cache
+@end example
+
+The IO cache translator caches data that has been read. This is useful
+if many applications read the same data multiple times, and if reads
+are much more frequent than writes (for example, IO caching may be
+useful in a web hosting environment, where most clients will simply
+read some files and only a few will write to them).
+
+The IO cache translator reads data from its child in @command{page-size} chunks.
+It caches data upto @command{cache-size} bytes. The cache is maintained as
+a prioritized least-recently-used (@acronym{LRU}) list, with priorities determined
+by user-specified patterns to match filenames.
+
+When the IO cache translator detects a write operation, the
+cache for that file is flushed.
+
+The IO cache translator periodically verifies the consistency of
+cached data, using the modification times on the files. The verification timeout
+is configurable.
+
+@cartouche
+@table @code
+@item page-size <n> (128KB)
+Size of a page.
+@item cache-size (n) (32MB)
+Total amount of data to be cached.

+@item priority <pattern> (*:0)

+
+@node Booster
+@subsection Booster
+@cindex booster
+@example
+ type performance/booster
+@end example
+
+The booster translator gives applications a faster path to communicate
+read and write requests to GlusterFS. Normally, all requests to GlusterFS from
+applications go through FUSE, as indicated in @ref{Filesystems in Userspace}.
+Using the booster translator in conjunction with the GlusterFS booster shared
+library, an application can bypass the FUSE path and send read/write requests
+directly to the GlusterFS client process.
+
+The booster mechanism consists of two parts: the booster translator,
+and the booster shared library. The booster translator is meant to be
+loaded on the client side, usually at the root of the translator tree.
+The booster shared library should be @command{LD_PRELOAD}ed with the
+application.
+
+The booster translator when loaded opens a Unix domain socket and
+listens for read/write requests on it. The booster shared library
+intercepts read and write system calls and sends the requests to the
+GlusterFS process directly using the Unix domain socket, bypassing FUSE.
+This leads to superior performance.
+
+Once you've loaded the booster translator in your volume specification file, you
+can start your application as:
+
+@example
+ $ LD_PRELOAD=/usr/local/bin/glusterfs-booster.so your_app
+@end example
+
+The booster translator accepts no options.

+@end example
+
+This translator provides storage independent POSIX record locking
+support (@command{fcntl} locking). Typically you'll want to load this on the
+server side, just above the @acronym{POSIX} storage translator. Using this
+translator you can get both advisory locking and mandatory locking
+support. It also handles @command{flock()} locks properly.
+
+Caveat: Consider a file that does not have its mandatory locking bits
+(+setgid, -group execution) turned on. Assume that this file is now
+opened by a process on a client that has the write-behind xlator
+loaded. The write-behind xlator does not cache anything for files
+which have mandatory locking enabled, to avoid incoherence. Let's say
+that mandatory locking is now enabled on this file through another
+client. The former client will not know about this change, and
+write-behind may erroneously report a write as being successful when
+in fact it would fail due to the region it is writing to being locked.
+
+There seems to be no easy way to fix this. To work around this
+problem, it is recommended that you never enable the mandatory bits on
+a file while it is open.

+@node Usage Scenarios
+@chapter Usage Scenarios
+
+@section Advanced Striping
+
+This section is based on the Advanced Striping tutorial written by
+Anand Avati on the GlusterFS wiki
+@footnote{http://gluster.org/docs/index.php/Mixing_Striped_and_Regular_Files}.
+
+@subsection Mixed Storage Requirements
+
+There are two ways of scheduling the I/O. One at file level (using
+unify translator) and other at block level (using stripe
+translator). Striped I/O is good for files that are potentially large
+and require high parallel throughput (for example, a single file of
+400GB being accessed by 100s and 1000s of systems simultaneously and
+randomly). For most of the cases, file level scheduling works best.
+
+In the real world, it is desirable to mix file level and block level
+scheduling on a single storage volume. Alternatively users can choose
+to have two separate volumes and hence two mount points, but the
+applications may demand a single storage system to host both.
+
+This document explains how to mix file level scheduling with stripe.
+
+@subsection Configuration Brief
+
+This setup demonstrates how users can configure unify translator with
+appropriate I/O scheduler for file level scheduling and strip for only
+matching patterns. This way, GlusterFS chooses appropriate I/O profile
+and knows how to efficiently handle both the types of data.
+
+A simple technique to achieve this effect is to create a stripe set of
+unify and stripe blocks, where unify is the first sub-volume. Files
+that do not match the stripe policy passed on to first unify
+sub-volume and inturn scheduled arcoss the cluster using its file
+level I/O scheduler.
+

+
+@subsection Preparing GlusterFS Envoronment
+
+Create the directories /export/namespace, /export/unify and
+/export/stripe on all the storage bricks.
+
+ Place the following server and client volume spec file under
+/etc/glusterfs (or appropriate installed path) and replace the IP
+addresses / access control fields to match your environment.

+Bring up the Storage
+
+Starting GlusterFS Server: If you have installed through binary
+package, you can start the service through init.d startup script. If
+not:
+
+@example
+[root@@server]# glusterfsd
+@end example
+
+Mounting GlusterFS Volumes:
+
+@example
+[root@@client]# glusterfs -s [BRICK-IP-ADDRESS] /mnt/cluster
+@end example
+
+Improving upon this Setup
+
+Infiniband Verbs RDMA transport is much faster than TCP/IP GigE
+transport.
+
+Use of performance translators such as read-ahead, write-behind,
+io-cache, io-threads, booster is recommended.
+
+Replace round-robin (rr) scheduler with ALU to handle more dynamic
+storage environments.
+
+@node Troubleshooting
+@chapter Troubleshooting
+
+This chapter is a general troubleshooting guide to GlusterFS. It lists
+common GlusterFS server and client error messages, debugging hints, and
+concludes with the suggested procedure to report bugs in GlusterFS.
+
+@section GlusterFS error messages
+
+@subsection Server errors
+
+@example
+glusterfsd: FATAL: could not open specfile:
+'/etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol'
+@end example
+
+The GlusterFS server expects the volume specification file to be
+at @command{/etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol}. The example
+specification file will be installed as
+@command{/etc/glusterfs/glusterfsd.vol.sample}. You need to edit
+it and rename it, or provide a different specification file using
+the @command{--spec-file} command line option (See @ref{Server}).
+
+@vskip 4ex
+
+@example
+gf_log_init: failed to open logfile "/usr/var/log/glusterfs/glusterfsd.log"
+ (Permission denied)
+@end example
+
+You don't have permission to create files in the
+@command{/usr/var/log/glusterfs} directory. Make sure you are running
+GlusterFS as root. Alternatively, specify a different path for the log
+file using the @command{--log-file} option (See @ref{Server}).
+
+@subsection Client errors
+
+@example
+fusermount: failed to access mountpoint /mnt:
+ Transport endpoint is not connected
+@end example
+
+A previous failed (or hung) mount of GlusterFS is preventing it from being
+mounted again in the same location. The fix is to do:
+
+@example
+# umount /mnt
+@end example
+
+and try mounting again.
+
+@vskip 4ex
+
+@strong{``Transport endpoint is not connected''.}
+
+If you get this error when you try a command such as @command{ls} or @command{cat},
+it means the GlusterFS mount did not succeed. Try running GlusterFS in @command{DEBUG}
+logging level and study the log messages to discover the cause.
+
+@vskip 4ex
+
+@strong{``Connect to server failed'', ``SERVER-ADDRESS: Connection refused''.}
+
+GluserFS Server is not running or dead. Check your network
+connections and firewall settings. To check if the server is reachable,
+try:
+
+@example
+telnet IP-ADDRESS 6996
+@end example
+
+If the server is accessible, your `telnet' command should connect and
+block. If not you will see an error message such as @command{telnet: Unable to
+connect to remote host: Connection refused}. 6996 is the default
+GlusterFS port. If you have changed it, then use the corresponding
+port instead.
+
+@vskip 4ex
+
+@example
+gf_log_init: failed to open logfile "/usr/var/log/glusterfs/glusterfs.log"
+ (Permission denied)
+@end example
+
+You don't have permission to create files in the
+@command{/usr/var/log/glusterfs} directory. Make sure you are running
+GlusterFS as root. Alternatively, specify a different path for the log
+file using the @command{--log-file} option (See @ref{Client}).
+
+@section FUSE error messages
+@command{modprobe fuse} fails with: ``Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter''.
+@cindex Redhat Enterprise Linux
+
+If you are using fuse-2.6.x on Redhat Enterprise Linux Work Station 4
+and Advanced Server 4 with 2.6.9-42.ELlargesmp, 2.6.9-42.ELsmp,
+2.6.9-42.EL kernels and get this error while loading @acronym{FUSE} kernel
+module, you need to apply the following patch.
+
+For fuse-2.6.2:
+
+@indicateurl{http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/fuse-2.6.2-rhel-build.patch}
+
+For fuse-2.6.3:
+
+@indicateurl{http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/gluster/glusterfs/fuse/fuse-2.6.3-rhel-build.patch}
+
+@section AppArmour and GlusterFS
+@cindex AppArmour
+@cindex OpenSuSE
+Under OpenSuSE GNU/Linux, the AppArmour security feature does not
+allow GlusterFS to create temporary files or network socket
+connections even while running as root. You will see error messages
+like `Unable to open log file: Operation not permitted' or `Connection
+refused'. Disabling AppArmour using YaST or properly configuring
+AppArmour to recognize @command{glusterfsd} or @command{glusterfs}/@command{fusermount}
+should solve the problem.
+
+@section Reporting a bug
+
+If you encounter a bug in GlusterFS, please follow the below
+guidelines when you report it to the mailing list. Be sure to report
+it! User feedback is crucial to the health of the project and we value
+it highly.
+
+@subsection General instructions
+
+When running GlusterFS in a non-production environment, be sure to
+build it with the following command:
+
+@example
+ $ make CFLAGS='-g -O0 -DDEBUG'
+@end example
+
+This includes debugging information which will be helpful in getting
+backtraces (see below) and also disable optimization. Enabling
+optimization can result in incorrect line numbers being reported to
+gdb.
+
+@subsection Volume specification files
+
+Attach all relevant server and client spec files you were using when
+you encountered the bug. Also tell us details of your setup, i.e., how
+many clients and how many servers.
+
+@subsection Log files
+
+Set the loglevel of your client and server programs to @acronym{DEBUG} (by
+passing the -L @acronym{DEBUG} option) and attach the log files with your bug
+report. Obviously, if only the client is failing (for example), you
+only need to send us the client log file.
+
+@subsection Backtrace
+
+If GlusterFS has encountered a segmentation fault or has crashed for
+some other reason, include the backtrace with the bug report. You can
+get the backtrace using the following procedure.
+
+Run the GlusterFS client or server inside gdb.
+
+@example
+ $ gdb ./glusterfs
+ (gdb) set args -f client.spec -N -l/path/to/log/file -LDEBUG /mnt/point
+ (gdb) run
+@end example
+
+Now when the process segfaults, you can get the backtrace by typing:
+
+@example
+ (gdb) bt
+@end example
+
+If the GlusterFS process has crashed and dumped a core file (you can
+find this in / if running as a daemon and in the current directory
+otherwise), you can do:
+
+@example
+ $ gdb /path/to/glusterfs /path/to/core.<pid>
+@end example
+
+and then get the backtrace.
+
+If the GlusterFS server or client seems to be hung, then you can get
+the backtrace by attaching gdb to the process. First get the @command{PID} of
+the process (using ps), and then do:
+
+@example
+ $ gdb ./glusterfs <pid>
+@end example
+
+Press Ctrl-C to interrupt the process and then generate the backtrace.
+
+@subsection Reproducing the bug
+
+If the bug is reproducible, please include the steps necessary to do
+so. If the bug is not reproducible, send us the bug report anyway.
+
+@subsection Other information
+
+If you think it is relevant, send us also the version of @acronym{FUSE} you're
+using, the kernel version, platform.
