I think I found the answer to glusterd not starting.
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1472267

Apparently the version of gluster (3.12.15) that comes packaged with
ovirt-node 4.2.8 has a known issue where gluster tries to come up before
networking, fails, and crashes. This was fixed in gluster 3.13.0
(apparently). Do devs paruse this list? Any chance someone who can update
the gluster package might read this?
