There's something I'm confused about -- if I mount my gluster volume at
AUTH_test, I am able to work with it, but is the idea that users should
manually create a gluster volume and mountpoint for every account?

I've been working through this Fedora 17 openstack howto:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Getting_started_with_OpenStack_on_Fedora_17#Configure_swift_with_keystone.
I thought I'd bring gluster into the mix, but it's not clear to me how
the setup directions I see here and elsewhere for swift ought to
interact with the gluster-swift packages.

The gluster-swift-plugin places a set of configuration files into
/etc/swift -- the 1.conf files and the ring configurations. The admin
guide doesn't mention any swift-ring-builder operations -- are these not
required with UFO?

Thanks, Jason
