This is done all the time for testing and it is really easy. install the RPM's, start up the glusterd service. 1) make a directory for gluster to use. Never touch anything in this directory. mkdir /var/gluster 2) create your volume gluster volume create MyVolume localhost:/var/gluster gluster volume start MyVolume 3) mount with fuse to another directory mkdir /a mount.glusterfs localhost:MyVolume /a When you write files to /a the files will get written to the brick which is /var/gluster in this example. You now have a test. Enjoy.
