GlusterFS on BSD

From GlusterDocumentation

Jump to: navigation, search

Over BSD systems, GlusterFS is tested by the GlusterTeam only for server side. Typical way to compile would be as below. 

./configure; make; make install;

NOTE:

  1. The port seamlessly works fine with only glusterfs-1.3.9.tar.gz
  2. If you are trying ZFS over BSD, extended attributed is not yet supported. You may not be able to get AFR and Stripe translator to work, as they use extended attributes.
  3. Please compile and install fuse from the fuse4bsd ports if you wish to try out GlusterFS client.
  4. Recommended version of FreeBSD would be 7.0 as it has several kernel improvements under ZFS, UFS filesystems and will be constantly updated/supported from FreeBSD foundation. Older versions also work fine but there has been a considerable performance improvement in FreeBSD 7.0 release which could be exploited.

If you have any queries, please do drop a mail to gluster-devel@nongnu.org
