Mounting a GlusterFS Volume

From GlusterDocumentation

Mounting a Volume

To mount using a server supplied client volume file, enter the following command, substituting your server's IP address:

bash# mount -t glusterfs  192.168.0.1 /mnt/glusterfs

To mount using a local client supplied volume file, enter the following command:

bash# mount -t glusterfs /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol /mnt/glusterfs

To automatically mount on every boot, add a line to the /etc/fstab file.

For a server supplied client volume file, add the following line, substituting your server's IP address:

192.168.0.1  /mnt/glusterfs  glusterfs  defaults  0  0

For a local client volume file, add the following line:

/etc/glusterfs/glusterfs.vol  /mnt/glusterfs  glusterfs  defaults  0  0

Mounting Options

The following options are valid with -t glusterfs. All options have to be a comma separated values with the mount command or in the /etc/fstab file.

  • log-level=loglevel
  • log-file=logfile
  • transport=transport-type
  • direct-io-mode=[enable|disable]
  • volume-name=volume_name
  • volume-id=volume-ID
  • If the server's listening port is different than default, enter it similarly to the following example, substituting your port number for 7997:
  • bash# mount -t glusterfs  192.168.0.1:7997 /mnt/glusterfs
    
  • If you are adding the listening port to the /etc/fstab file, see the following example:
  • 192.168.0.1:7997  /mnt/glusterfs  glusterfs  defaults  0  0
