Hi Tom. This is a bug. This feature was introduced to prevent setting some options when old clients are connected to a gluster volume. This was needed because the old clients wouldn't be able to understand the newer options, which could lead to unintended behaviour. But auth.allow has been available from the beginning and is moreover a server side option, so it shouldn't have failed. Could you please open a bug regarding this at [1]. Please add information on your setup/environment, including glusterfs version, volume information, the glusterd log files, version of glusterfs clients. For now, to workaround this bug, unmount all the connected clients and set the option again.
