I have installed 1.4rc6.  No compile errors, etc.  However, I still do
not have mount.glusterfs in /sbin.  I used a custom install location
(--prefix=/usr/local) as it is a shared file system for the cluster.
Can I simply copy the mount.glusterfs file to the various /sbin
locations for each machine and expect things to work?
