		Gfarm Filesystem Installation Manual

About this document
===================

This document describes the installation of a Gfarm filesystem
using Debian binary packages.

Overview
========

To introduce a Gfarm filesystem, Debian packages for a metadata server,
filesystem nodes, and client nodes have to be installed.

Note that it is possible to install all Debian packages on the same host.

Installation of a Gfarm metadata server
=======================================

Install the Debian package for the Gfarm metadata server.

	# apt-get install gfmd

Installation of a Gfarm filesystem node
=======================================

Install the Debian package for a Gfarm filesystem node.

	# apt-get install gfsd

Since each filesystem node is often a client node, you may install a
client package, too.  See the next section.

Installation of a Gfarm client node
===================================

Install the Debian packages for a Gfarm client node.

	# apt-get install gfarm-client gfarm-doc

A document package is optional.

If you want to use the gfarm2fs to mount the Gfarm file system,
install the gfarm2fs package as well.

	# apt-get install gfarm2fs
