Sure:

[root at vm-container-0-0 ~]# tail -2 /etc/fstab
/dev/sdb1               /gluster                ext3    defaults        0 1
127.0.0.1:pifs          /pifs                   glusterfs defaults,_netdev 0
0

I'm not running VM's off the gluster share but that's the general idea of
where I'd like to get with this platform. That's obviously going to require
some different mount options but I'd like to get this performance issue
resolved before I start in on that.
