I am trying to install GlusterFS and I see all the instructions utilize the creation of an XFS mount point, is it a limitation that GlusterFS requires XFS? Can it work with vfat or ntfs mounts?

GlusterFS works on any filesystem which supports extended attributes (EA).

An example is Gluster on ZFS

  • Is there a link that shows what kind of file systems support extended attributes? – Archimedes Trajano Mar 25 '18 at 23:48

    From [Wikipedia:](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_file_attributes) "In Linux, the ext2, ext3, ext4, JFS, Squashfs, Yaffs2, ReiserFS, Reiser4, XFS, Btrfs, OrangeFS, Lustre, OCFS2 1.6 and F2FS[8] filesystems support extended attributes (abbreviated xattr) when enabled in the kernel configuration" – shodanshok Mar 26 '18 at 18:08
