I'm using Debian Buster on Linode as a database/datastore server. Currently, it can only have 10TB per block storage mount, but I need more than that, can GlusterFS be useful in this kind of scenario where I need to build, say 100TB file mount that I can mount also in multiple machines. Currently, Linode does not allow mounting the same network storage in multiple machines.

My plan is to run like 10 small CPU machines with each 10TB storage to build a 100TB distributed storage. Is this the right approach?

  • From this post it looks like it is possible: https://www.linode.com/community/questions/11292/could-gluster-fs-use-multiple-block-storage-volumes-on-one-machine – quarks Dec 23 '20 at 07:42

Yes, that should work. GlusterFS Volume allows multiple clients/mounts connecting to same Volume.

Note: It will be Distribute volume without redundancy. If a node goes down then that means Partial data unavailability. Use Distributed Replicate in case redundancy is required.
