Hi Edward, The problem here is libfuse takes the liberty to add the nodev, nosuid option (if dev,suid is not specified) in later versions. Currently I have committed a patch to solve this issue, as glusterfs explicitly specifies, 'dev, suid' options. But with whatever release you are trying, you may have to edit the sourecode a bit and compile to get it working open xlators/mount/fuse/src/fuse-bridge.c, goto function 'init()' add "-o", "dev", "-o", "suid", to fuse_argv, and increment fuse_argc by 4 (from whatever value it has there). compile glusterfs, install, and you should be good to solve this problem.
