[1] Configure the same settings on 2 GlusterFS servers like follows. It is recommended to create a directory for GlusterFS volume on the different partition from the / partition.
root@gfs01:~#
apt-get -y install glusterfs-server
root@gfs01:~#
vi /etc/hosts
# add GlusterFS servers

10.0.0.60       gfs01.srv.world gfs01
10.0.0.61       gfs02.srv.world gfs02

# create a directory for GlusterFS volume

root@gfs01:~#
mkdir /glusterfs/distributed

[2] Work on a server like follows.
root@gfs01:~#
gluster peer probe gfs02
# search the server

peer probe: success
# just found

root@gfs01:~#
gluster peer status
# show status

Number of Peers: 1

Hostname: gfs02
Port: 24007
Uuid: 0575e5a1-651b-49f4-80ee-06cd06f1740b
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

# create a volume

root@gfs01:~#
gluster volume create vol_distributed transport tcp \
gfs01:/glusterfs/distributed \
gfs02:/glusterfs/distributed

volume create: vol_distributed: success: please start the volume to access data
root@gfs01:~#
gluster volume start vol_distributed
# start the volume

volume start: vol_distributed: success
root@gfs01:~#
gluster volume info
# show info


Volume Name: vol_distributed
Type: Distribute
Volume ID: e462fde6-2cd8-4ea5-b32e-9cb01089187b
Status: Started
Number of Bricks: 2
Transport-type: tcp
Bricks:
Brick1: gfs01:/glusterfs/distributed
Brick2: gfs02:/glusterfs/distributed
[3] Configure GlusterFS Clients to use GlusterFS volume from GlusterFS servers.
root@gfsclient:~#
apt-get -y install glusterfs-client
# mount the volume on /mnt

root@gfsclient:~#
mount -t glusterfs gfs01.srv.world:/vol_distributed /mnt
# just mounted

root@gfsclient:~#
df -h
