High-Availability Storage Cluster With GlusterFS On Ubuntu In this tutorial I will show you how to install GlusterFS in a scalable way to create a storage cluster, starting with 2 servers on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server. Files will be replicated and splitted accross all servers which is some sort of RAID 10 (raid 1 with < 4 servers). With 4 servers that have each 100GB hard drive, total storage will be 200GB and if one server fails, the data will still be intact and files on the failed server will be replicated on another working server. GlusterFS is a clustered file-system capable of scaling to several peta-bytes. It aggregates various storage bricks over Infiniband RDMA or TCP/IP 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.

For whatever reason my system would only
When configuring with --prefix= I got the error:
libtool: install: error: cannot install `libglusterfsclient.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/lib
to fix this I did this:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --datadir=/var
This might be a slightly cleaner solution then the aforementioned one if you want to keep your files in order.
You have to regenerate configure by running ./autogen first.
For some reasons, libraries are going in the wrong directory so we need to (if someone has a clean fix to this please post it!) ... That's ./configure, you have to tell it where to put libraries... try --prefix=
