It is recommended to use partitions for GlusterFS volumes which are different from the / partition.
The environment on this example is set as that sdb1 is mounted on [/glusterfs] directory for GlusterFS Configuration on all Nodes.
[1]
[2] Create a Directory for GlusterFS Volume on all Nodes.
[root@node01 ~]#
mkdir -p /glusterfs/dist-replica

[3] Configure Clustering like follows on a node. (it's OK on any node)
# probe the node

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node02

peer probe: success.
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node03

peer probe: success.
[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer probe node04

peer probe: success.
# show status

[root@node01 ~]#
gluster peer status

Number of Peers: 3

Hostname: node02
Uuid: 3dc44051-4139-4ff1-be53-329d4711afeb

Hostname: node03
