Updated the Ubuntu upstart jobs for glusterd in extras/Ubuntu.
Using upstart jobs, instead of an initscript, solves Bug 765014. See also: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/glusterfs/+bug/876648 The new upstart jobs split the work of starting glusterd & mounting glusterfs volumes into two parts: a glusterd service runner and a glusterfs volume moung blocker which waits for the service runner. This is the method preferred by Ubuntu developers to block a mounting event until a required service is available. These changes will be included in the Ubuntu glusterfs-server package starting with release 12.04, Precise Pangolin. Tested on Ubuntu 12.04 Change-Id: I9bb4e8cb05a1da0997c23f2ef7fea8737f6a2eb9 BUG: 765014 Signed-off-by: Louis Zuckerman <louiszuckerman@gmail.com> Reviewed-on: http://review.gluster.com/2727 Tested-by: Gluster Build System <jenkins@build.gluster.com> Reviewed-by: Amar Tumballi <amarts@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Jeff Darcy <jdarcy@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: Anand Avati <avati@redhat.com>

Ubuntu uses upstart instead of init to bootstrap the system and it has a unique
-way of handling fstab, using a program called mountall(8). As a result,
-glusterfs mounts in fstab are tried before the glusterd service is running. In
-the case where the client is also a server and the volume is mounted from
-localhost, the mount fails at boot time. An upstart job for glusterd is needed
-to correct this.

The glusterd.conf file contains the necessary configuration for upstart to
manage the glusterd service. It should be placed in /etc/init/glusterd.conf
on Ubuntu systems, and then the old initscript /etc/init.d/glusterd can be
