I am still finishing up my blog post I haven't posted it yet It is still 
a draft.  Getting closer.  I am waking though the steps in a fresh 
install to make sure I am not missing any steps.

When it was happening to me it looked like a locking problem.  Since I 
was having other problems with Fedora 17 I rebuilt everything under 
CentOS 6.2 with zero problems.  However I learned a few little tricks 
that might have helped make it not happen.

Both Posix FS (Native mode) and NFS using localhost:/volume format over 
a 1G network.

In both cases provisioning was really slow.  I found the NFS ran better 
of the two from research it was likely because NFS shares are by default 
cached native gluster fs isn't.  However if you are using Fedora 17 with 
the latest kernel and it is stable for you Posix FS is likely much 
faster since fuse supports direct IO now.  Also a faster network could 
make a real difference.
