Hmm. I was copying from directory pools, which also use O_NONBLOCK then
call into virFileReadHeaderFD. So that code needs to be fixed (separate
patch). For gluster, I think it's easiest to just drop O_NONBLOCK from
the code (I just verified that attempts to use 'mkfifo' inside a gluster
volume fail with EACCES); for directory pools you DO want to open
O_NONBLOCK (otherwise opening a fifo for read would hang waiting for a
writer), then use virSetNonBlock() after verifying file type but before
reading the header (since we already reject fifos as unable to be used
as a storage volume).
Squashing in this, then pushing.
