	<title>DESCRIPTION</title>

	<para>This VFS module is part of the
	<citerefentry><refentrytitle>samba</refentrytitle>
	<manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry> suite.</para>

	<para>
		The <command>vfs_glusterfs</command> VFS module exposes
		GlusterFS specific features for use by Samba.
	</para>

	<para>
		GlusterFS is a clustered file system, capable of scaling
		to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks
		over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP and interconnect into one large
		parallel network file system. Storage bricks can be made of any
		commodity hardware, such as x86-64 server with SATA-II RAID and
		Infiniband HBA.

		GlusterFS is fully POSIX compliant file system. It supports
		standard clients running standard applications over any standard
		IP network and also FUSE. It works seemlessly on
		different operating systems, currently supported on GNU/Linux
		and Solaris.
	</para>

	<para>
		This module is stackable, provided glusterfs lies in the bottom
		of the stack.
	</para>

			logfile. Client variable substitution is supported (i.e.
			%M, %m, %I), hence per client log file can be specified.

		<para>
			Example: glusterfs:logfile =
			/var/log/samba/glusterfs-vol2.%M.log
		</para>
		</listitem>
		</varlistentry>

		<varlistentry>
		<term>glusterfs:loglevel = 0-9</term>
		<listitem>

			0 - No logs; 9 - Trace log level; 7 being the info log level is preferred.

			the glusterfs default is used (currently loglevel 7).

		</listitem>
		</varlistentry>


		<varlistentry>
		<term>glusterfs:volfile_server = servername</term>
