Gluster and backup storage on rackspace01 / rackspace02

So, it's up and running now. Next step would be to configure ovirt to use the new gluster volume. And for backups to be moved from linode to this area instead. Please note I only allocated 1 TB to glusterlv, and 100 GB to backuplv, This leave ~700 GB untouched for allocation where we need it. "It's better to grow then to show" ... I just thought of that one, I know its bad.
