Daniel -
If you want to export existing data you will need to run the self
heal process so extended attributes can get written. While this should
work without any issues it isn't an officially supported process, please
make sure you have complete and up to date backups.
After you have setup and started the Gluster volume mount it locally on
one of the servers using `mount -t glusterfs localhost:/<volname>
/<some temporary mount>`. CD into the root of the mount point and run
`find . | xargs stat>>/dev/null 2>&1` to start a self heal.
Also the command you used to create the volume should not have worked,
it is missing a volume name - gluster volume create<VOLNAME> transport
tcp fs7:/storage/7, fs8:/storage/8, typo maybe?
Please let us know how it goes, and please let me know if you have any
other questions.
Thanks,
Craig

Craig, is this the recommended self heal method in all cases now then,
or is "ls -aR" still better in some circumstances?
