GlusterFS
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.
Network
The GlusterFS servers will have fixed IP-addresses. That is configured in the DHCP servers list of statically assigned IP-adresses by using the Domains MAC address.

- 192.168.1.41 gluster02

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