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. | |||
Configuration | |||
The backend supports all common storage properties, and adds the | |||
following GlusterFS specific options: | |||
server | |||
GlusterFS volfile server IP or DNS name. | |||
server2 | |||
Backup volfile server IP or DNS name. | |||
volume | |||
GlusterFS Volume. | |||
transport | |||
GlusterFS 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 | |||
File naming conventions | |||
The directory layout and the file naming conventions are inherited | |||
from the dir backend. | |||
Storage Features | |||
The storage provides a file level interface, but no native | |||
snapshot/clone implementation. | |||
