Quick and dirty single-node GlusterFS setup

GLUSTER_SETUP.sh

#
# Instructions for quick gluster server (1 node) setup with a volume on LVM.
# No replication, just using localhost.
#
# See https://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Administrator%20Guide/Brick%20Naming%20Conventions/
#

# Install GlusterFS
add-apt-repository ppa:gluster/glusterfs-4.0
apt-get install glusterfs-server

# Create an LVM volume, format with XFS
lvcreate -L 10G -n gluster lvm-vg-main
apt-get install xfsprogs
mkfs.xfs /dev/lvm-vg-main/gluster

# Create directory for brick and mount LVM volume
mkdir -p /data/glusterfs/myvol1/brick1
mount /dev/lvm-vg-main/gluster /data/glusterfs/myvol1/brick1

# Create volume in gluster
gluster volume create myvol1 $HOSTNAME:/data/glusterfs/myvol1/brick1/brick
gluster volume start myvol1

# Mount!
mkdir -p /mnt/glusterfs
mount -t glusterfs $HOSTNAME:myvol1 /mnt/glusterfs

Please add step with command service glusterd start before line 22.

I'd also add this line to `/etc/fstab' file

echo "$HOSTNAME:myvol1 /mnt/glusterfs glusterfs defaults,_netdev 0 0" >> /etc/fstab
