Are you sure you don't have the Linux kernel NFS server running on 10.0.0.1? Make sure you disable it before starting the Gluster volume.

You can verify that the Gluster NFS server is running by running this on 10.0.0.1:

# showmount -e localhost

The output should show:

/vol0/2e8a14e9-83d6-6e68-7c1a-464e6691988b  *
