Okay;

  So my startup sequence is now;
    /sbin/gluster --mode=script volume create testvol [...]
    /sbin[...] volume set testvol client-log-level NONE
    /sbin[...] volume set testvol brick-log-level NONE
    /sbin[...] volume start testvol

  There are still log files being created in  
/var/log/glusterfs/bricks/, but they look like they stop 
logging after initialisation.  I.e. there's some init info 
followed by the vol file and then nothing after that, in 
each log file.

Thanks for this info - its good info - you guys should 
add it to the public administration docco;
