The problem was that glusterfs would return zero (success) as soon as it
forked, before we really knew whether the mount using the primary
volfile server had actually succeeded or failed. This code actually
checks for the appearance of the volume in our mount table, and retries
using the backup volfile server if it doesn't show up in a reasonable
amount of time.
It's hacky, and I know something better is coming along, but this issue
comes up daily in the IRC channel and not everyone wants to set up RRNDS
for something that a script should be able to handle. Whoever added the
backupvolfile-server option probably meant for it to help in these
cases, but it wasn't working.
