GlusterFS is a distributed file-system capable of scaling to several
petabytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over TCP/IP interconnect
into one large parallel network filesystem. GlusterFS is one of the
most sophisticated file systems in terms of features and extensibility.
It borrows a powerful concept called Translators from GNU Hurd kernel.
Much of the code in GlusterFS is in user space and easily manageable.
This package includes the glusterfs binary, the glusterfsd daemon and the
libglusterfs and glusterfs translator modules common to both GlusterFS server
and client framework.
