GlusterFS driver¶
GlusterFS is an open-source scalable distributed file system that is able to grow to petabytes and beyond in size. More information can be found on Gluster’s homepage.
This driver enables the use of GlusterFS in a similar fashion as NFS. It supports basic volume operations, including snapshot and clone.
To use Block Storage with GlusterFS, first set the volume_driver in
the cinder.conf file:
volume_driver = cinder.volume.drivers.glusterfs.GlusterfsDriver
