Nope, it actually my first setup in lab. No errors - it just seems as not
synchronizing anything. The version I'm using is the latest one - 2 rc2.

Perhaps I need to modify anything else in addition to GlusterFS installation
- like file-systems attributes or something?

The approach I'm using is the one that was recommended by Kieth over direct
emails (Keith, hope you don't mind me posting them :) ).
The idea is basically to have single vol file both for client and for
server, and to have one glusterfs process doing the job both as client and
as server.

Thanks for the help.

 option directory /media/storage        # Export this directory
end-volume

volume posix-locks-home1

 option mandatory-locks on

## Reference volume "home2" from remote server

 option remote-subvolume posix-locks-home1     # use home1 on remote host
 option transport-timeout 10           # value in seconds; it should be set
relatively low

### Add network serving capability to above home.
