As a practical note... a good habit to have is making dated + initialed
comments right above manual changes.  (this was drilled into me over
years working in some of the better team-work corp environments around)

eg:

From this in /etc/sysconfig/nfs:

  # Define which protocol versions mountd
  # will advertise. The values are "no" or "yes"
  # with yes being the default
  #MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"
  #MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no"

to this:

  # Define which protocol versions mountd
  # will advertise. The values are "no" or "yes"
  # with yes being the default

  # 2014-02-24 JC Turn off advertising NFSv2 mountd for now
  #               while testing, to see if that helps
  MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"

  #MOUNTD_NFS_V2="no"
  #MOUNTD_NFS_V3="no"

Personally I generally do this _as well_ as make backups
of the files into the same directory for easier traceability
when stuff isn't in a revision control system.  (Not sure at
this stage if build.gluster.org is or isn't.)

Hopefully this helps. :)

Regards and best wishes,
