Tom Fifield c939bff0f2 Reorganise compute config reference
This patch
* Removes content that is covered by installation (adding group,
   fixing file permissions, multiple compute nodes)
* Removes empty section (hypervisors)
* Merges duplicate content (overview/explanation of nova.conf)
* Flattens section structure, and removes "post-install config"
   section label that was a legacy of previous structure
* Addresses outdated reference to Xen configuration info.

<title>GlusterFS driver</title>
<para>GlusterFS is an open-source scalable distributed file system
that is able to grow to petabytes and beyond in size. More
information can be found on <link
xlink:href="http://www.gluster.org/">Gluster's
homepage</link>.</para>
<para>This driver enables use of GlusterFS in a similar fashion as
the NFS driver. It supports basic volume operations, and like
NFS, does not support snapshot/clone.</para>
<note>
<para>You must use a Linux kernel of version 3.4 or greater
(or version 2.6.32 or greater in RHEL/CentOS 6.3+) when
working with Gluster-based volumes. See <link
xlink:href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/nova/+bug/1177103"
>Bug 1177103</link> for more information.</para>
</note>
<para>To use Cinder with GlusterFS, first set the
<literal>volume_driver</literal> in
<filename>cinder.conf</filename>:</para>
<programlisting>volume_driver=cinder.volume.drivers.glusterfs.GlusterfsDriver</programlisting>
<para>The following table contains the configuration options
supported by the GlusterFS driver.</para>
