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, Mac OSX, FreeBSD, OpenSolaris). +.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.
