[Gluster-users] Gluster 3.2 configurations + translators

[bxmatus at gmail.com]

Hmmm, where can i check if client is configured to pull configuration
from server ?
On server i have /etc/glusterd and /etc/gluster which look like it is
not used at all.
On client end there is only /etc/gluster which is also not used( all defaults ).
