i'm sorry, but i'm missing all these "Gluster Volumes" UI components
that are mentioned in
http://www.ovirt.org/develop/release-management/features/gluster/gluster-support/.
the tabs i see for my storage cluster are "General", "Logical Networks",
"Hosts", "Services", "Permissions". as i said "Services" is empty, is
that a problem?
what's wrong?
thx
