GlusterFS(8)                     Gluster Inc.                     GlusterFS(8)

NAME
       GlusterFS - Clustered Filesystem.

SYNOPSIS
       glusterfsd [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 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, Solaris).

       --volfile-id=KEY
              KEY of the volume file to be fetched from server

       --volfile-server-port=PORT
              Port number of volfile server

       --volfile-server-transport=TRANSPORT
              Transport type to get volume file from server [default: tcp]

       --volume-name=VOLUME-NAME
              Volume name to be used for MOUNT-POINT [default: top most volume
              in VOLUME-FILE]

       --xlator-option=VOLUME-NAME.OPTION=VALUE
              Add/override a translator option for a volume with the specified
              value


   Fuse options
       --attribute-timeout=SECONDS
              Set attribute timeout to SECONDS for inodes in fuse kernel
              module [default: 1]

       --auto-invalidation=BOOL
              controls whether fuse-kernel can auto-invalidate attribute,
