I agree, but the short answer is that for protocols like gluster where I am not required to specify any image format, QEMU ends up opening the image twice which results in connection init and termination twice. I will discuss this with QEMU developers for a long term solution. Meanwhile having a working glfs_fini() which tears down the connection completely will give us a fully working QEMU with GlusterFS backend. Regards, Bharata.
