Michael - My directions were not clear, sorry. (YES|NO) and (ON|OFF) are completely interchangeable, I will work on getting the documentation more consistent.
In my example /mnt/client2 is the Gluster native mount point, if you don't usually use the Gluster native client in your environment you can just install it on any Gluster server and mount it there. The ` setfattr -n glusterfs.io.stats.dump ` command is a little disingenuous in this case, it is just a trigger that the glusterd service intercepts and then dumps the stats out to the standard Gluster log file, usually in /var/log/glusterfs/. No attribute ever gets set on a file, that is why you get the " setfattr: /mnt/gluster-test: Operation not supported" error, which you can ignore. You can also set `latency-measurement on` and `dump-fd-stats on` on a running volume without a problem. Every time you dump the stats they all reset to 0, you might for example setup a cron job to dump the stats nightly. The stats are pretty self explanatory, please let us know if you have any specific questions. Thanks, Craig --> Craig Carl Gluster, Inc.

Craig, I have some questions about these instructions. First is a conflict with the documentation on the first 2 commands. The web page: http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1:_Setting_Volume_Options describes those options as having a parameter of yes/no, not on/off. Do both work or just one? The CLI accepts both and sets the option in the vol files accordingly, but I haven't seen any results yet. I'm also curious about the setfattr command, which may be the reason I'm not getting any results yet. You don't specify, but I'm guessing that command needs to be run on a client. I'm also guessing that /mnt/client2 is supposed to be the mount point where the gluster file system is mounted. You say that "The" error message reported by setfattr can be ignored. I get the error message: setfattr: /mnt/gluster-test: Operation not supported Then after that getfattr shows no attributes on the mount point that I specified. Is that the "The" error message that can be ignored? Finally can you be more specific about where we should see the stats and is it documented anywhere what they mean or is it pretty self explanatory when they are seen? Should they be in /tmp/<dummy_file>, if not what is that file for, or in /var/log/glusterfs/ on the client?
