Greeting- I'm relatively new to the Gluster community, and would like to investigate Gluster as a solution to augment our current storage systems. My use of Gluster has been limited to nitch use cases. Is there anybody in the Library/Digital Repository space that has implemented this for mass storage (multi-petabyte). I'd be interested in having a discussion via email if that's ok. Thanks. -- Peter J.

It's fairly easy to do by hand, but there is also a Puppet-Gluster module to automate it, and it integrates with Vagrant. Disclaimer: I'm the author of this code, so of course, I think it's a great idea to use it. When I first started testing gluster, this enabled me to try different configurations and get familiar with how it works. # the code https://github.com/purpleidea/puppet-gluster # some related articles https://ttboj.wordpress.com/ Try out GlusterFS, and once you've used it for a week, come back with the harder questions :) When you want professional support, you can also go to RedHat and get support too!

The following is a copy of part of the email with slides from those talks.
