So, --disable-direct-io-mode is equivalent to "option direct-io-mode 1"?
Shouldn't it be 0? I noticed there is a "direct-io-mode" parameter
understood by mount.glusterfs, but this appears to be for enabling, rather
than disabling it. Can anyone clarify?

I was also hoping that --disable-direct-io-mode might also fix the curses
issue with the kernel and the nVidia installer, but unfortunately, it
didn't. :(

I suspect you could reproduce the second stage by making a directory on one
server (in the backing store) and a symlink on the other. This will make
the entry non-viewable on both nodes, but you'll still be able to cd into
it. I've no idea how the initial splitbrain might be re-creatable. Maybe
creating a dot-prefixed symling pointing to a directory outside glusterfs
might do it? I'll do some more experimenting tonight and see if I can
reliably re-create the problem.
