Hello,
I'm trying to create a new volume. I'm in 4.1.2
I'm following these indications:
http://www.ovirt.org/documentation/admin-guide/chap-Working_with_Gluster_Storage/

When I click the "add brick" button, I don't see anything in "Brick
Directory" dropdown field and I cannot manuall input a directory name.

On the 3 nodes I already have formatted and mounted fs

[root at ovirt01 ~]# df -h /gluster/brick3/
Filesystem                  Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/gluster-export   50G   33M   50G   1% /gluster/brick3
[root at ovirt01 ~]#

The guide tells

7. Click the Add Bricks button to select bricks to add to the volume.
Bricks must be created externally on the Gluster Storage nodes.

What does it mean with "created externally"?
The next step from os point would be volume creation but it is indeed what
I would like to do from the gui...

Thanks,
Gianluca
