Gluster users - Aug 2011 - Gluster and Read-Only Disks

I've run into a problem with gluster in a small NAS setup, just trying to
serve a couple disks on a LAN.... Is it possible to export a filesystem I
have mounted as read-only on the server? I have an ext2 disk that I need to
access read-only, but creating a volume with that mountpoint fails with an
"extended attributes not supported" error.  If that mountpoint is a
subdirectory of the volume export point, everything except the read-only
subtree works.

Currently its not possible to mount GlusterFS that has a read-only export
point because the server processes check for extended attribute support in
the filesystem by creating a dummy extended attribute (which is removed just
after creating it), since the export point is mounted read-only the setting
of extended attribute fails and the process exits.
