Hi Jaden - welcome to gluster development!

Do your test processes change their working directory to the glusterfs 
mount point? If yes, you can possibly try to refer the glusterfs mount 
without changing the working directory of your test processes. With that 
you should be able to umount a glusterfs mount point in case of a 
glusterfs process crash.
