@var{gluster} is the protocol.
-@var{transport} specifies the transport type used to connect to gluster
+@var{type} specifies the transport type used to connect to gluster
management daemon (glusterd). Valid transport types are
-tcp, unix and rdma. If a transport type isn't specified, then tcp
-type is assumed.
+tcp and unix. In the URI form, if a transport type isn't specified,
+then tcp type is assumed.
-@var{server} specifies the server where the volume file specification for
-the given volume resides. This can be either hostname, ipv4 address
-or ipv6 address. ipv6 address needs to be within square brackets [ ].
-If transport type is unix, then @var{server} field should not be specified.
+@var{host} specifies the server where the volume file specification for
+the given volume resides. This can be either a hostname or an ipv4 address.
+If transport type is unix, then @var{host} field should not be specified.
Instead @var{socket} field needs to be populated with the path to unix domain
socket.
@var{port} is the port number on which glusterd is listening. This is optional
-and if not specified, QEMU will send 0 which will make gluster to use the
-default port. If the transport type is unix, then @var{port} should not be
-specified.
+and if not specified, it defaults to port 24007. If the transport type is unix,
+then @var{port} should not be specified.
+
+@var{volume} is the name of the gluster volume which contains the disk image.
+
+@var{path} is the path to the actual disk image that resides on gluster volume.
+
+@var{debug} is the logging level of the gluster protocol driver. Debug levels
+are 0-9, with 9 being the most verbose, and 0 representing no debugging output.
+The default level is 4. The current logging levels defined in the gluster source
+are 0 - None, 1 - Emergency, 2 - Alert, 3 - Critical, 4 - Error, 5 - Warning,
+6 - Notice, 7 - Info, 8 - Debug, 9 - Trace
+
+@var{logfile} is a commandline option to mention log file path which helps in
+logging to the specified file and also help in persisting the gfapi logs. The
+default is stderr.
+
-@var{volname} is the name of the gluster volume which contains the disk image.
-@var{image} is the path to the actual disk image that resides on gluster volume.
You can create a GlusterFS disk image with the command:
@example
-qemu-img create gluster://@var{server}/@var{volname}/@var{image} @var{size}
+qemu-img create gluster://@var{host}/@var{volume}/@var{path} @var{size}
