echo deb [arch=amd64] http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.12/LATEST/Debian/stretch/apt stretch main > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/gluster.list
wget -O - http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.12/rsa.pub | apt-key add -
apt-get update
apt-get install glusterfs-server xfsprogs
Format the dedicated partition for GlusterFS synchronized data:
eg. /dev/xvda3
mkfs.xfs -f -i size=512 /dev/xvda3
