Glusterfs3.2.4/5支持五种Volume，即Distribute卷、Stripe卷、Replica卷、Distribute stripe卷和Distribute replica卷，这五种卷可以满足不同应用对高性能、高可用的需求。
(1)distribute volume：分布式卷，文件通过hash算法分布到brick server上，这种卷是glusterfs的基础和最大特点；
(2)stripe volume：条带卷，类似RAID0，条带数=brick server数量，文件分成数据块以Round Robin方式分布到brick server上，并发粒度是数据块，大文件性能高；
(3)replica volume：镜像卷，类似RAID1，镜像数=brick server数量，所以brick server上文件数据相同，构成n-way镜像，可用性高；
(4)distribute stripe volume：分布式条带卷，brick server数量是条带数的倍数，兼具distribute和stripe卷的特点；
(5)distribute replica volume：分布式镜像卷，brick server数量是镜像数的倍数，兼具distribute和replica卷的特点；
实际上，我们可以通过修改glusterfs卷配置文件来实现分布式RAID10，即distribute stripe replica volume。Stripe replica volume是一种特殊分布式RAID10卷，即stripe count * replica count = birck server数量。这种方式绕过Glusterd/mgmt来管理，能够实现功能，但是修改起来不方便，建议谨慎使用。简单操作步骤如下：
(1)使用gluster工具创建distribute stripe卷；
(2)停止所有相关brick server上的glusterd服务，/etc/init.d/glusterd stop；
(3)在一个brick server上手工修改相应的卷配置信息，然后同步至所有相关brick server；
(4)重启所有相关brick server上的glusterd服务，/etc/init.d/glusterd start。
下面我们举个实际的例子，这里为了简化在一台服务器上操作。
(1)创建distribute stripe卷
gluster volume create raid10 stripe 2 192.168.75.129:/opt/raid10-1 192.168.75.129:/opt/raid10-2 192.168.75.129:/opt/raid10-3 192.168.75.129:/opt/raid10-4 192.168.75.129:/opt/raid10-5 192.168.75.129:/opt/raid10-6 192.168.75.129:/opt/raid10-7 192.168.75.129:/opt/raid10-8
得到的/etc/glusterd/vols/raid10/raid10-fuse.vol配置文件内容如下：volume raid10-client-0 type protocol/client option remote-host 192.168.75.129 option remote-subvolume /opt/raid10-1 option transport-type tcp end-volume volume raid10-client-1 type protocol/client option remote-host 192.168.75.129 option remote-subvolume /opt/raid10-2 option transport-type tcp end-volume volume raid10-client-2 type protocol/client option remote-host 192.168.75.129 option remote-subvolume /opt/raid10-3 option transport-type tcp end-volume volume raid10-client-3 type protocol/client option remote-host 192.168.75.129 option remote-subvolume /opt/raid10-4 option transport-type tcp end-volume volume raid10-client-4 type protocol/client option remote-host 192.168.75.129 option remote-subvolume /opt/raid10-5 option transport-type tcp end-volume volume raid10-client-5 type protocol/client option remote-host 192.168.75.129 option remote-subvolume /opt/raid10-6 option transport-type tcp end-volume volume raid10-client-6 type protocol/client option remote-host 192.168.75.129 option remote-subvolume /opt/raid10-7 option transport-type tcp end-volume volume raid10-client-7 type protocol/client option remote-host 192.168.75.129 option remote-subvolume /opt/raid10-8 option transport-type tcp end-volume volume raid10-stripe-0 type cluster/stripe subvolumes raid10-client-0 raid10-client-1 end-volume volume raid10-stripe-1 type cluster/stripe subvolumes raid10-client-2 raid10-client-3 end-volume volume raid10-stripe-2 type cluster/stripe subvolumes raid10-client-4 raid10-client-5 end-volume volume raid10-stripe-3 type cluster/stripe subvolumes raid10-client-6 raid10-client-7 end-volume volume raid10-dht type cluster/distribute subvolumes raid10-stripe-0 raid10-stripe-1 raid10-stripe-2 raid10-stripe-3 end-volume volume raid10-write-behind type performance/write-behind subvolumes raid10-dht end-volume volume raid10-read-ahead type performance/read-ahead subvolumes raid10-write-behind end-volume volume raid10-io-cache type performance/io-cache subvolumes raid10-read-ahead end-volume volume raid10-quick-read type performance/quick-read subvolumes raid10-io-cache end-volume volume raid10-stat-prefetch type performance/stat-prefetch subvolumes raid10-quick-read end-volume volume raid10 type debug/io-stats option latency-measurement off option count-fop-hits off subvolumes raid10-stat-prefetch end-volume
(2) service glusterd stop
