with current versions GlusterFS, the limitations are as follows: * number of inodes - 2^64 * size of the largest file - 2^64 * size of filesystem in bytes - 2^64 * max length of the path (it can be even length of single filename). - (4096bytes) * no limit on number of files in a directory (obviously not more than 2^64). * no limit on number of directories created (again, not more than 2^64). There is no limitation of on the content of the path, unless otherwise fuse has some limitations (which i doubt, some one clarify me). So, no worries about paths in different language. (our team has not tested it, as none of us have any keyboard with different languages :O, other than english) So, mostly if any limitation depends mainly on the backend filesystem, rather than GlusterFS.
