Josh,
although it might be more some "bleeding" than "cutting" edge,
is there/could you provide - some howto
get the lib gfapi working in ubuntu 13.04
given that it'll work with the port problem on live migration mentioned 
earlier? 
gluster 3.4.2 I hope fixed the port problem?
I'd be willing to do some testing/feed back on that.
best
Bernhard
