A quick how-to for standalone deployment:

1. Start glusterd.

2. Create a volume with local bricks [ gluster volume create <volname> 
.. <local-brick1> <local-brick2>...<local-brickN> ]

3. Start the volume. [gluster volume start <volname>].

4. Mount the volume locally [mount -t glusterfs localhost:/<volname> 
<mount-point>.

This should be it.
