Like this:

--snip--

[export_name]
vfs objects = glusterfs
glusterfs:volfile_server = MOUNT-SERVER # defaults to localhost
glusterfs:volume = VOLUME-NAME
path = / # specifying a path will export that subdirectory in the volume instead

--snip--

Note that you will need to install both glusterfs and glusterfs (with these 2 patches) from git.
