Currently, there is no option to change the port through options, hence you
need to change the code.

> This is mostly because you had started volume before changing all the port
information, and 'glusterd' will remember this. Hence every time you restart
the volume, the same port gets assigned to it.  One of the option is to
delete the volume and create it with the same command (which was used
earlier).

Yes, you can change this in code, and re-compile to get it working.

libglusterfs/src/globals.h:23:#define GF_DEFAULT_BASE_PORT 24007
