I'm doing some experiments with GlusterFS. Most documents online suggest to install the glusterfs-package as if it was available directly in the repo, and therefore installable via a simple "yum install".
Unless I'm wrong, it appears that this package is not in the repo for CentOS 6. Does anyone know what happened to it?

I meant the "glusterfs-server package". Sorry.

Yes, it was not built/distributed. You can either rebuild the SRPM and enable the build of the server package or even better - get the RPMs from gluster.org.

So, what is the reason for not distributing it?

Not sure, ask RedHat, it may have to do with http://www.redhat.com/products/storage-server/

If you feel like experimenting, here's a build with the "server" feature: http://li.nux.ro/download/nux/tmp/glusterfs/el6/x86_64/

Or, as Nux! first suggested: http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.4/3.4.2/EPEL.repo/epel-6...
e.g. $ wget -P ~/Downloads http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.4/3.4.2/EPEL.repo/epel-6...
(all on one line), then
$ sudo yum install ~/Downloads/glusterfs-server-3.4.2-1.el6.x86_64.rpm
