This isn't possible without a local filesystem that
can handle concurrent access like ocfs2 or glfs. 
Remember, glusterfs works on top of the local
filesystem.  If you try this with ext3 or another
"normal" filesystem, you risk crashing the kernel
because it does not expect the filessytem to change
from underneath itself!
