The following happens during node-configuration on stoney cloud 1.2.10.7 (and glusterfs 3.4.2-r1):

Executing: gluster peer probe X.Y.Z.11 ...
Could not add gluster peer, try again in 5 seconds!
Added the gluster peer with the IP address X.Y.Z.11 successfully!

According to http://www.gluster.org/pipermail/gluster-users/2013-May/036058.html upstream recommends to use a sub-directory for "ease of maintenance". Don't know why yet, might have to investigate first before blindly applying "force".
