NAME
       GlusterFS - clustered file system

SYNOPSIS
       glusterfs [options] [mountpoint]

DESCRIPTION
       GlusterFS  is  a	 clustered  file system, capable of scaling to several
       peta-bytes.  It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband  RDMA
       or TCP/IP and 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 file system. On client side, it has
       dependency on FUSE package, on server side, it works seemlessly on dif‐
       ferent operating systems. Currently supported on GNU/Linux and Solaris.

   Basic options
       -f, --volfile=VOLUME-FILE
