# Gluster
|
|
Gluster is a software defined distributed storage that can scale to several
|
|
petabytes. It provides interfaces for object, block and file storage.
|
|
|
|
## Development
|
|
Contributions to gluster in the form of patches and new feature additions can
|
|
be made by following steps outlined at [Developers Guide](http://docs.gluster.org/en/latest/Developer-guide/Developers-Index/#contributing-to-the-gluster-community).
|
|
|
|
## 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
|
|
```
|
|
