GlusterD kubernetes: systemctl start glusterd silent failures.

Note: I didn't setup an ETCD url. I assume that either way, glusterd should fail fast and obviously if ETCD isnt working, however, its a silent failure.

Observed behavior

Running the kube cluster recipes Gluster pods are running and healthy, but systemctl status glusterd2 tells another story, it completely failed.

Expected/desired behavior

Pods should exit if glusterd can't startup, or at least log this to stderr. Right now no logs and only way to know its broken is to run glustercli peer status or similar inside the pod.

Details on how to reproduce (minimal and precise)

Create the following file:

        - name: gluster-lvm
          hostPath:

        - name: gluster-kmods
          hostPath:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  name: glusterd2-service

And exec -t -i into one of the pods, you'll see its healthy, but running systemctl status glusterd2 will show error logs. re running this command manually, you will then see the following logs
