With recent versions of Gluster, the server component is no longer
available for CentOS-6. The client-side packages should be the there
though. The Gluster server components are only maintained for CentOS-7
and more current distributions. I'll try to go through
https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/gluster-Quickstart
and make it clear. Is that the documentation that you used, or do we
need to adjust it somewhere else too?
