Anyone is welcome to attend the meeting.  Terry Bowling will be giving a
presentation on Red Hat Storage (GlusterFS), a powerful network/cluster
filesystem written in user space which uses FUSE to hook itself with VFS
layer. GlusterFS takes a layered approach to the file system, where
features are added/removed as per the requirement. Though GlusterFS is a
File System, it uses already tried and tested disk file systems like
ext3, ext4, xfs, etc. to store the data. It can easily scale up to
petabytes of storage which is available to user under a single mount
point. More information on Red Hat Storage is available at
http://www.redhat.com/products/storage-server/ and more information on
GlusterFS is available at http://www.gluster.org/

Terry Bowling has been a UNIX/Linux admin for the past 12 years. He
currently works out of Indianapolis as a Technical Account Manager for
Red Hat, Inc.
