Meaning, run a recursive find against the client mount point 
(/mount/glusterfs is used as an example in the docs).  This should solve 
the specific issue of the files not being visible.
However, the issue of the disk space discrepancy is different.  From the 
df output, the only filesystem with 18GB is / on the mseas-data node, I 
assume this is where you are mounting from?
If so, then the issue goes back to one of connectivity, the gluster 
bricks most likely are still not being connected to, which may actually 
be the root cause of both problems.

Can you confirm that iptables is off on all hosts (and from any client 
you would connect from)?  I had seen your previous tests with telnet, 
was this done from and to all hosts from the client machine?
Make sure that at a minimum you can hit 24007, 24009, 24010 and 24011.  
This will test the management port and the expected initial port for 
each of the bricks in the volume.


Thanks,

Eco
