I am new to gluster so please be a bit patient with me.

I am trying to setup a gluster volume with the bricks being /dev/sdb1 (or 
/dev/sdb, I have tried both) ... etc. however I get an error message and the 
operation fails.  I do not have the error message (sorry!) the only brick I 
have available for testing is tied up at the moment so I cant rerun the test to 
get the exact error.  If I can I will post it later.

However if I mount the partition I am able to create the volume no problem.  I 
have read the admin guide several times but cannot find any reference to using 
a block device only a mounted device.

Is it even possible, or am I crazy for even trying?
