Storage pool type: glusterfs
GlusterFS is a scalable network file system. The system uses a modular design, runs on commodity hardware, and can provide a highly available enterprise storage at low costs. Such system is capable of scaling to several petabytes, and can handle thousands of clients.
After a node/brick crash, GlusterFS does a full rsync
to make
sure data is consistent. This can take a very long time with large
files, so this backend is not suitable to store large VM images.
The backend supports all common storage properties, and adds the following GlusterFS specific options:
server
server2
volume
transport
tcp
, unix
or rdma
Configuration Example (/etc/pve/storage.cfg
).
glusterfs: Gluster server 10.2.3.4 server2 10.2.3.5 volume glustervol content images,iso
The directory layout and the file naming conventions are inherited
from the dir
backend.
