Glusterfs uses port 6996 by default. Either  dont specify "option
listen-port" or make sure to provide the port number in --server option in
glusterfs command line.

Said, "Prey, which leg comes after which?",
This raised his doubts to such a pitch,
He fell flat into the ditch,
Not knowing how to run.
