Facts
GlusterFS project starts in August 2006
It is not actual Filesystem
Server only for LinuxClient running on Linux & FreeBSD
Very scallable
Very easy to install and maintain

The picture explained:
ClientX:
volume serverX - defines a name for a remote serversubvolumes brick0 - defines in which of all exported volumes from
the remote server we are interested
some performance translators
volume unify - defines that we will use unify cluster translatorsubvolumes serverX serverY - defines which already connected storage volumes will be used
