It is a replication layer that sits on top of FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace http://fuse.sf.net). You can replicate pretty much any type of file system, ufs, zfs, dos...etc. In other words, you don't need to reformat your disk or create some special underlying file system. GlusterFS is in userspace. However.... I have yet to get it working on freebsd. Anyone had any luck with GlusterFS on Freebsd 6.x? Michael Grant
