Posting to -devel because I can't post to vdsm-owner or virt-maintenance.

Huh? The glusterfs-cli RPM has /usr/sbin/gluster and its manpage. That's it.

That's not the command used to mount a gluster volume.

A simple `mount -t glusterfs $server:$volname $mntpoint` is all it 
takes. (Assuming you have glusterfs and glusterfs-fuse RPMs installed.)

glusterfs-server and glusterfs-cli and for people to set up and manage a 
gluster server. AFAIK it's a mistake for vdsm to have these as dependencies.
