Okay... this is a silly question. How do I do that? Deleting the volume 
doesn't affect the files in the underlying filesystem, and I get the 
impression that trying to delete the files in the underlying filesystem 
without shutting down or deleting the volume would result in Gluster 
trying to write the files back where they "belong".

Should I stop the volume, delete it, then delete the files and start 
from scratch, re-creating the volume?

At this point, the cluster isn't live, so this is an entirely feasible 
thing to do. All the data exists somewhere else already, and I just need 
to copy it to the NFS share to get things going.
