HI Anand, As Daniel mentioned already, I also tried to create a volume with only brick on separate nodes, i.e. # gluster volume create vol_icclab transport tcp gluster-node4.test:/mnt/brick1/vol_icclab gluster-node1.test:/mnt/brick1/vol_icclab, but I still get the same error.

We specifically brought this because creating volumes with directories which are subdirectories of other bricks, or if a subdirectory belongs to another brick can result in dangerous corruption of your data. Please create volumes with brick directories which are cleanly separate in the namespace.

I've tried your suggestion, it does work for me too, but it's not an optimal solution. Maybe someone could shed some light on this behaviour?
