I run a Dell PowerEdge R710 with effectively 680GB of RAID storage. However, over the years, I’ve added on to my network, and as a result have needed more storage. My haphazard solution for this was to just add additional storage machines I have lying around for things like the network backup server and media storage, but this isn’t very… elegant. Aside from the fact that my data are not centrally accessible, it also means that I have to have between 3 and 5 network shares mounted at any given point.

So, I embarked on a mission to combine my various network storage boxes into one big SAMBA share using GlusterFS. But, I found that the documentation for getting into this, especially for we beginners, is a bit sparse, so I decided to chronicle my journey here.
