* Both xlators (protocol/server and storage/posix) are named as rhel2. Each
translator instance should be given a different name.

* protocol/server lists "export" as one of its subvolumes, which is not
present in the specfile. Try removing it if you dont need it.

* server should have "option client-volume-specfile
<glusterfs-volume-specification-file>" or a client-specfile should be
present as <glusterfs-install-prefix>/etc/glusterfs-client.vol

No single point of failure when glusterfs is run in clustered mode. What it
exactly means that there is nothing like a single metadata server, failure
of which renders cluster not operational (Though currently unify has a
limitation in the form of namespace, which will be fixed in future
releases).

There is no tool currently which tell the directories exported by server.
But this can be found out by checking logfiles of server.

A centipede was happy quite, until a toad in fun,
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.
