**GlusterFS** is a **distributed**, arbitrarily scalable **file system** that aggregates storage components from **several servers into one**, uniform file system.
To interact with this filesystem you need to install the [**GlusterFS client**](https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/LATEST/) (`sudo apt-get install glusterfs-cli`).
To list and mount the available volumes you can use:
```bash
sudo gluster --remote-host=10.10.11.131 volume list
# This will return the name of the volumes
sudo mount -t glusterfs 10.10.11.131:/<vol_name> /mnt/
```
If you receive an **error trying to mount the filesystem**, you can check the logs in `/var/log/glusterfs/`
**Errors mentioning certificates** can be fixed by stealing the files (if you have access to the system):
* /etc/ssl/glusterfs.ca
* /etc/ssl/glusterfs.key
* /etc/ssl/glusterfs.ca.pem
And storing them in your machine `/etc/ssl` or `/usr/lib/ssl` directory (if a different directory is used check for lines similar to: "_could not load our cert at /usr/lib/ssl/glusterfs.pem_" in the logs) .
