== Disk ==

We will add an additional disk to the system. This disk will be used for file storage.

== Software ==

{{{
apt-get install glusterfs-server
}}}

from gluster01
connect with the other gluster servers
{{{
gluster peer probe gluster02
gluster peer probe gluster03
gluster peer probe gluster04
}}}

check server status

add a 32GiB harddisk for each of the servers
If you only want to run 2 GlusterFS servers then setup [[GlusterFS Server with Arbiter|servers with arbiter]] and [[GlusterFS Client with Arbiter|client with arbiter]] instead.

GlusterFS

During the installation I noticed some slow IO

GlusterFS is a distributed filesystem. It has built in redundancy, so it is possible to run two servers which automatically replicate files between the servers. If one server goes down, the other just takes over. Once it comes up again, files are automatically replicated. Here we will use GlusterFS as a redundant network mounted file storage.

For the sport of it, we will configure 4 GlusterFS servers.

Configure the servers, then the client. Once completed continue by setting up encryption.

If you only want to run 2 GlusterFS servers then setup servers with arbiter and client with arbiter instead.
