Just an update/confirmation - it looks like the problem requiring this 
workaround has been fixed in gluster since at least 2.0.8 (current 
version at the moment is 2.0.9). Those horrible "ls" lines aren't needed 
any more. :) But since they were never included in clusterfs-lib.sh, I 
guess it doesn't really matter. ;)
