Hm, the setup of volumes is very different from what is done in the
Gluster Administration Guide. The latter does not touch plain files at
all but consistently uses the gluster CLI. There is no need to deal with
"volume raw", "volume brick" or so, and above all there is no
modification to glusterfsd.vol.
Why the deviation?
It's simple; it works. I was following various recipes collected from
the web.
Also, I had a problem starting the management service (which provides
the CLI functionality), so I couldn't use the CLI tools. I don't recall
the exact problem now.
I guess you can configure things "statically" from the config files, or
"dynamically" from the CLI. I like the config file approach, personally.
