You can possibly accomplish this by mounting the entire glusterfs volume
into the container host and bind mounting different sub-directories of the
volume in different containers. Gluster supports configuring quota on
sub-directories. Note that data services like geo-replication, snapshots
etc. cannot be configured for sub-directories.

Are your PVs  for read write once or read write many workloads? We are
looking at adding read write once support with iSCSI in Gluster 3.10.
