Well, I am going to suggest the same thing which I suggested before... " *Iterative_mode*" or "iteration" The rational is simple. The 'global_mode' (as it is today) does loop through the possible (and permitted) volume type + mount protocol. Or in other words, it executes each test by iterating though the gluster volume and mount types. So in my mind it makes sense to have the flag as *iterative_mode*. Also this is exactly one part of distaf which makes it pretty much tied to glusterfs automation. Because of the iteration distaf does over gluster volume type and guster mount protocols when flag is unset. So setting this flag makes it gluster independent ( more or less, still not completely). So keeping that in mind, we can also call it "*gluster_iterative_mode*" or " *gluster_iteration*" as well.
