why not look into editing /sbin/mount.glusterfs
if you're mounting through fstab or the mount command that seems the logical place to address this.

This would actually give the same result: You can mount any glusterfs volume
but they will not appear in <linkto>/mtab. Though, they will appear
in /proc/mounts.
This is somewhat tricky, as you wont't be able to unmount the volume
gracefully.
IMHO this is quite a disadvantage because for any (system-)diskless
computation cluster this tricky situation comes up.

Another workaround might be to replace /bin/mount with a script, which keeps
the link <linkto>/mtab in sync with /proc/mounts. Will check on this soon.
