GlusterFS is an open-source (mostly) POSIX compliant distributed filesystem originally written by Gluster Inc and now maintained by RedHat Inc. Here at Facebook it had humble beginings: a single rack of machines, serving only a single use-case. Over the next 4 years it grew to thousands of machines, hosting 10s of petabytes of data. This presentation is a story of how this transformation occurred and the things we did to make it happen.
