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, Solaris). .SH OPTIONS .PP Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options. .SS "Basic options" .PP .TP \fB\-f, \fB\-\-volfile=VOLUME-FILE\fR File to use as VOLUME-FILE [default:/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol] .TP \fB\-l, \fB\-\-log\-file=LOGFILE\fR File to use for logging [default:/var/log/glusterfs/glusterfs.log] .TP \fB\-L, \fB\-\-log\-level=LOGLEVEL\fR Logging severity.
