Chapter 4: Using GlusterFS on Cloud Infrastructure

1. The storage locations used by GlusterFS to store actual data.
2. The Z FileSytem, an advanced filesystem created by Sun Microsystems and later made open source.
3. A ZFS storage pool.
4. A disk used for read request, typically faster and lower latency than the disks used in the zpool.
5. Normally through the Operating System’s package manager, such as yum.
6. A pool of GlusterFS nodes that will participate in the same cluster.
7. Gluster volume creates <Volume name> <Volume Type> <Number of nodes> <node and brick paths>.

8. This setting controls how much memory will be used for caching.
9. Adaptive Replacement Cache, this is ZFSs caching algorithm.
