1)  You haven't commented out 'NFS bits' properly . 'showmount -e' will 
be executed only when the 'nfs' protocol is selected as mount protocol 
to run the tests. Ensure that you properly remove it from @runs_on 
decorator.

2) As i had told you before when we were discussing in IRC, the volume 
is not exported because gluster-nfs is not running.  Create a volume 
manually in your setup and set 'nfs.disable' volume option to 'off' and 
start the volume . Check if nfs process gets started and see if the 
volume you created gets exported with 'showmount -e localhost' command. 
If this works then we need to explicitly set this volume option in test 
case for running tests on 'nfs' protocol.

3) Volume creation will fail if you do not have enough number of bricks 
on servers to create the volume.

Please refer to the example config file for the volume_types section and 
it's default values.

For example: in case of 'replicated' volume, we have replica_count as 3. 
Hence from all the servers collectively you definitely need 3 brick mounts.

Ensure that you have enough bricks to run all volume types otherwise 
test cases will fail with the same error.
