I didn't find it in the source tree. I happened on documentation here, which seemed to imply this was a current project as of 2015: https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs-specs/blob/master/done/GlusterFS%203.5/Disk%20Encryption.md And those instructions work for Gluster as provide from the Ubuntu PPA at https://launchpad.net/~gluster/+archive/ubuntu/glusterfs-3.8 which is of course an "unsupported" version -- if commonly used with Ubuntu. Curious that it includes an orphan translator.
