Hi Mike,

     If you create gluster bricks on the same disk as OS it works but we 
do not recommend setting up gluster bricks on the same disk as the os. 
When user tries to create a gluster volume using by specifying the 
bricks from root partition it displays an error message "Bricks in root 
parition not recommended and use force at the end to create volume".

Thanks
