 Using a single Gluster node will be like mounting any other storage, just 
 without Gluster's advantages of backuping/distributing the FS.
 Also, you can attach nodes later on to your GlusterFS after you start using 
 it.

 (Thanks to Sahina Bose from Gluster's team for advicing (: )

That is what I figured.  I was only going to set up a single node now,
so if I decide to add additional nodes in the future, I don't have to
make any changes to my current storage (as far as preparing it for
Gluster); I just need to add the additional node(s).

Subject: [ovirt-users] Storage question: single node gluster?

Hi There,

This is not strictly oVirt, but is storage-related, so hopefully you
will indulge me?

Is there any detriment (performance or otherwise) in setting up a
single-node glusterFS storage?  I know glusterFS is designed to be used
with multiple nodes, but I am wondering if there are any ill-effects in
configuring current storage as a single-node cluster, with the idea of
possibly adding future nodes in the future?

Thanks! :-)

AFAIK it is not the best practice from Gluster. 

I tested it using single node and it should work fine. 
everything depend on your traffic and configuration. 

For example, 
Single node with only one NIc is not the same as with multiple nics 
Using only one HDD for both OS and volumes or SSD for OS and another SSD for 
volumes. 

so... it depends on the setup...
