# Gluster

  Gluster is a software defined distributed storage that can scale to several

  petabytes. It provides interfaces for object, block and file storage.

## Development

  The development workflow is documented in [Contributors guide](CONTRIBUTING.md)

## Documentation

  The Gluster documentation can be found at [Gluster Docs](http://docs.gluster.org).

## Deployment

  Quick instructions to build and install can be found in [INSTALL](INSTALL) file.

## Testing

  GlusterFS source contains some functional tests under `tests/` directory. All

  these tests are run against every patch submitted for review. If you want your

  patch to be tested, please add a `.t` test file as part of your patch submission.

  You can also submit a patch to only add a `.t` file for the test case you are

  aware of.

  To run these tests, on your test-machine, just run `./run-tests.sh`. Don't run

  this on a machine where you have 'production' glusterfs is running, as it would

  blindly kill all gluster processes in each runs.

  If you are sending a patch, and want to validate one or few specific tests, then

  run a single test by running the below command.

```

  bash# /bin/bash ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t

```

  You can also use `prove` tool if available in your machine, as follows.

```

  bash# prove -vmfe '/bin/bash' ${path_to_gluster}/tests/basic/rpc-coverage.t

```
