Hi,

In the end I had to add a couple of extra things, but this line fixed it
for me in the end:

exclude=glusterfs glusterfs-libs glusterfs-server glusterfs-fuse glusterfs-api glusterfs-cli

I put it in the configuration in the [base], [extras] and [updates]
section of CentOS-Base.repo

Cheers,
Kingsley.
