Distributed File System Glusterfs installation steps

my system is RHEL5, may not be the same, the need to install the third party rely on different ah, anyway, we are in the process of installation of what is missing to install what, general will be prompted.
Download the glusterfs-3.2.0.tar.gz source package. Extract to a directory casually.

Glusterfs requires fuse support, please install fuse before installation begins. fuse can be downloaded to http://fuse.sourceforge.net/ the steps for installing fuse are as follows: ./configure
Make Make Install

Glusterfs requires ctypes support, please install ctypes before installation begins.

ctypes Look at the download address for http://python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/ ctypes Libraries need to be installed with Python, and the installation steps are as follows
python setup.py build
Python setup.py test
Python setup.py Install

To install Glusterfs, follow these steps:
cd/home/glusterfs-3.2.0
./configure--enable-fusermount Make Make Install

down needs to be configured, my environment here is: Server-side 3-----------192.168.2.85 and 192.168.2.222 and 192.168.2.98
client-side 1------------192.168.2.55 the directory in which the configuration file is located is/etc/glusterfs/

[Root@redhat1 glusterfs]# more Protocol-server.vol ### Export volume ' brick ' with the contents '/home/export ' Directo Ry. Volume brick type storage/posix # POSIX FS translator option Directory/data/movies # EXP

above is the server-side configuration file, each server configuration is the same, shared data directory for/data/movies the command to start the server side is: glusterfsd-l/etc/glusterfs/g.log-f/etc/glusterfs/protocol-server.vol

The configuration file for the client is the following configuration file:

 Ient0 client1 Client2 End-volume

the command to start the client is: glusterfs-l/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.log-f/etc/glusterfs/protocol-client.vol/mnt

after startup, you can check the/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.log file to view the log. You can also view it with the Df-h command, which represents success
Glusterfs#/etc/glusterfs/protocol-client.vol
654G 133G 487G 22%/mnt

because Glusterfs uses fuse, the Distributed file system is used just like a local directory.
If you don't believe it, do it:
ls/mnt cp/etc/glusterfs/protocol-client.vol/mnt
ls/mnt

I wish you all a happy work.

In the process of configuration if there are any problems, you can also refer to
