Yeah I too faced this issued in recent past, fixing this will help users
running gluster in containers.

Yeah this followed by glusterd restart should help

But frankly, i was hoping that 'rm' the file isn't a neat way to fix this
issue
AFAICT we have 2 scenarios:

1) Non-container scenario, where the current behaviour of glusterd
persisting the info in .info file makes sense

2) Container scenario, where the same image gets used as the base, hence
all containers gets the same UUID
For this we can have an option to tell glusterd that instructs it to
refresh the UUID during next start.

Maybe somethign like presence of a file /var/lib/glusterd/refresh_uuid
makes glusterd refresh the UUID in .info
and then delete this file, that ways, Dockerfile can touch this file, post
gluster rpm install step and things should
work as expected ?

thanx,
deepak
