Build Status Coverage Status

# Gluster Gluster is a software defined distributed storage that can scale to several petabytes. It provides interfaces for object, block and file storage. ## Development The development workflow is documented in [Contributors guide](CONTRIBUTING.md) ## Documentation The Gluster documentation can be found at [Gluster Docs](http://docs.gluster.org). ## Deployment Quick instructions to build and install can be found in [INSTALL](INSTALL) file. ## Testing GlusterFS source contains some functional tests under `tests/` directory. All these tests are run against every patch submitted for review. If you want your patch to be tested, please add a `.t` test file as part of your patch submission. You can also submit a patch to only add a `.t` file for the test case you are aware of. To run these tests, on your test-machine, just run `./run-tests.sh`. Don't run this on a machine where you have 'production' glusterfs is running, as it would blindly kill all gluster processes in each runs. If you are sending a patch, and want to validate one or few specific tests, then run a single test by running the below command. ``` bash# /bin/bash ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t ``` You can also use `prove` tool if available in your machine, as follows. ``` bash# prove -vmfe '/bin/bash' ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t ``` ## Maintainers The list of Gluster maintainers is available in [MAINTAINERS](MAINTAINERS) file. ## License Gluster is dual licensed under [GPLV2](COPYING-GPLV2) and [LGPLV3+](COPYING-LGPLV3).
