[Gluster-users] gluster volume create failure

[Anand Avati]

The quick start guide needs to be updated. The brick directory should
ideally be a sub-directory of a mount point (and not a mount point
directory itself) for ease of administration. We recently added code to
warn about this (and looks like the code check exposed a documentation bug
which you just shared!)
