Gluster users - Dec 2017 - 'ERROR: parsing the volfile failed' on fresh install

glusterd.vol file is default installed with glusterfs package. So I'm not
sure how did you end up into a state where this file was missing (as per my
initial investigation looking at the logs). What you could do to check if
this file is really missing or not by running "find / -iname
glusterd.vol"
and if it's indeed missing then copy it from one of the peer node and
restart glusterd.
