[Glusterfs](http://www.gluster.org) is an open source scale-out filesystem. These examples provide information about how to allow containers use Glusterfs volumes.
The example assumes that the Glusterfs client package is installed on all nodes.
### Prerequisites
Install Glusterfs client package on the Kubernetes hosts.
### Create a POD
The following *volume* spec illustrates a sample configuration.
```js
{
"name":"glusterfsvol",
"glusterfs":{
"endpoints":"glusterfs-cluster",
"path":"kube_vol",
"readOnly":true
}
}
```
The parameters are explained as the followings.
-**endpoints** is endpoints name that represents a Gluster cluster configuration. *kubelet* is optimized to avoid mount storm, it will randomly pick one from the endpoints to mount. If this host is unresponsive, the next Gluster host in the endpoints is automatically selected.
-**path** is the Glusterfs volume name.
-**readOnly** is the boolean that sets the mountpoint readOnly or readWrite.
