OK, this solution wins on the grounds that remapping the chrootenv seems 
to confuse glusterfs.

But ${clutype}_services_start is dependent on ${clutype}, which is 
returned from getCluType(), which always returns "gfs". Will that not 
break things?

 From what you said, if I have the following entry:
<rootvolume name="/etc/glusterfs/root.vol" fstype="flusterfs"/>
$rootfs come from $fstype. Is that right? Or from
<rootsource name="glusterfs">? Or somewhere else entirely?

Thanks.
