Seems good to me.

Please report how it goes.

Also, don't put /usr/local/freeswitch/sounds on GlusterFS, GlusterFS is not
so good for realtime reading and concatenating many small files (eg: what
standard FS IVRs do).
GlusterFS can be good for voicemail messages (eg
/usr/local/freeswitch/storage).

You better keep your smallish audio files (to be concatenated) on local
filesystems, keeped in sync. Maybe (not so good) on NFS. GlusterFS is not
the best for that.
