Configure Storage Clustering with GlusterFS.
For example, Create a Dispersed volume with 6 Nodes.
Dispersed Volumes is based on Erasure Coding (EC).

It is strongly recommended to use partitions for GlusterFS volumes that are different from the / partition.
On this example, it shows settings on the environment that all nodes has [sdb1] and mount it to [/glusterfs].
[1]
[2] Create a Directory for GlusterFS Volume on all Nodes.
root@node01:~#
mkdir -p /glusterfs/dispersed

[3] Configure Clustering like follows on a node. (it's OK on any node)
# probe nodes

root@node01:~#
gluster peer probe node02

peer probe: success.
root@node01:~#
gluster peer probe node03

peer probe: success.
root@node01:~#
gluster peer probe node04

peer probe: success.
root@node01:~#
gluster peer probe node05

peer probe: success.
root@node01:~#
gluster peer probe node06

peer probe: success.
# confirm status
