Configure Storage Clustering with GlusterFS.
For example, create a distributed volume with 2 Nodes.
This example shows to use 2 Nodes but it’s possible to use more than 3 Nodes.
+----------------------+ | +----------------------+
| [GlusterFS Server#1] |10.0.0.51 | 10.0.0.52| [GlusterFS Server#2] |
| glus01.srv.local +----------+----------+ glus02.srv.local |
| | | |
+----------------------+ +----------------------+

It is strongly recommended to use partitions for GlusterFS volumes that are different from the / partition.
On this example, it shows settings on the environment that all nodes has [sdb1] and mount it to [/glusterfs].
