Configure Storage Clustering.
For example, create a Distributed + Replication volume with 4 servers.

It is recommended to use partitions for GlusterFS volumes which are different from the / partition.
The environment on this example is set as that sdb1 is mounted on /glusterfs directory for GlusterFS Configuration on all Nodes.
[1]
[2] Create a Directory for GlusterFS Volume on all Nodes.
root@node01:~#
mkdir /glusterfs/dist-replica

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

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.
# show status

root@node01:~#
gluster peer status

Number of Peers: 3

Hostname: node02
