GlusterFS is a storage technology that uses volumes hosted on different servers to construct a distributed replicated network file system. The file system is fully POSIX compliant. It also supports storage paradigms as Block Storage and Object Storage.
* [[GlusterFS Installation|Installation]]
 
* [[GlusterFS Operations|Operations]]
GlusterFS stores the data on stable kernel file-systems like ext4 or xfs. It does not use an additional metadata server, it uses instead an unique hash tag for each file, stored within the file system itself.
