Lazy Man's Installation - 1 minute

Run this first script which installs glusterFS using YUM. 

#!/bin/bash
# Install server and create default directory
yum install -y glusterfs-server.x86_64
mkdir /tmp/export
# Install client and create default directory
yum install -y glusterfs-client.x86_64
mkdir /mnt/glusterfs

Edit and set the ip address on line 28 of /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol.
The line looks something like this, ip-address should be the address of the server
you are installing on: 

option remote-host ip-address

Run this second script which starts glusterFS. 

#!/bin/bash
glusterfsd -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol 
glusterfs -f /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol /mnt/glusterfs
