I guess this is expected. Instead of --debug, you can use 
--log-level=DEBUG (or TRACE if you really want all messages).

--debug causes GlusterD to not fork, instead it continues to run in the 
foreground and writes its logs to stderr. --debug is useful for running 
glusterd on a console, not so much when starting glusterd as a service.

HTH,
Niels
