Thanks Matthew, that definitely helped.

Jordan Hubbard committed an updated version of that to the FreeNAS
repo yesterday:

  https://github.com/freenas/ports/commit/5a7f56db3cf1b4913cee88bf1083b780c66ae18e

It leverages a slightly later tarball, adjusted so mount(2) works :)
and the FUSE client doesn't crash.

Is that commit above usable for main FreeBSD as well?

Note though, that's an early pre-alpha version of GlusterFS v3.6, so
I'm not sure if it's suitable for inclusion in a "stable" repo? ;)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
