Gluster users - Mar 2015 - Volume creation time?

Hi-
I'm new to GlusterFS and I have been trying to set up a gluster volume.  The
volume is 150 TB.  I started the create volume command on Friday morning and it
has not yet completed.  Since I have no prior experience with GlusterFS, is this
an expected duration?  The server is no power house, a pair of older Xeon Quad
core processors at 2 GHz and only 4 GB of RAM.  TOP shows very little processor
usage, but IOTOP shows some disk I/O.  I don't mind waiting it out, I just
want to be sure that the process is still proceeding.  Is there a way to monitor
Gluster volume creation progress?
Thanks,
Jason

Volume creation should be very fast, there is not a lot to do for
Gluster to create a volume. A couple of seconds should be sufficient.

Check the /var/log/glusterfs/etc-*.log to see if there are any errors
listed there.
