GlusterFS was pretty much the only damn thing that I could get to work in a reasonable amount of time (Tried NFS, Ceph, Gluster, Flocker).

Basically the solution (until we get PetSets at least) is to:

1. manually spin up two pods (gluster-ceonts image) without replication controllers because if they get down we need them to stay down so we can manually fix the issue and bring it back up.

2. each pod should have a custom gcePersistentDisk mounted under /mnt/brick1

3. from within each pod, probe the other (gluster peer probe x.x.x.x)

4. each pod should preferably be deployed to it's own node via nodeSelector

5. once the pods have been paired on gluster, create and start a volume

6. make a service that selects the two pods (via some label you need to put on both)
