If you make any change insides the volume tab.

I have tired using it as both glusterfs and nfs and in both cases I am 
seeing the same thing.  Once you install Gluster 3.3 and fix iptables 
join the boxes together volumes creation pretty much works but when I 
attempt to mount them they mount as user root and user kvm has no access 
to the share.
