Allow create gluster without manage lvm volumes

[theundefined]

I would like to create glusterfs on previously created volumes. I've added empty gluster.server.disks table to not create partitions there, then I've added brick_mount_path to correct dir, set volumes... but it doesn't work. I'ave received error:

 NoMethodError
  -------------
  undefined method `[]' for nil:NilClass

on line:
24>> peer_bricks = chef_node['gluster']['server']['volumes'][volume_name]['bricks'].select { |brick| brick.include? volume_name }

Currently only LVM managed bricks are supported. The brick list is created in the server_setup recipe.

Have you tried setting that yourself?
node.default['gluster']['server']['volumes'][volume_name]['bricks'] = ['/mnt/data/brick1/', etc...]

it doesn't work.
I have manually configured:
volume name "staticfiles", bricks in /srv/space/staticfiles
servers : node1 and node2

"by hand" i created it using something like

gluster volume create staticfiles rep 2 transport tcp node{1..2}:/srv/space/staticfiles
gluster volume start staticfiles
mount -t glusterfs node1:/staticfiles /srv/staticfiles

(of course after probing servers)

I've tried to recreate that configuration using chef by setting attributes:

    "gluster": {
      "server": {
        "disks": [   ],
        "brick_mount_path": "/srv/space/",
        "volumes": {
          "staticfiles": {
            "peers": [
              "node1",
              "node2"
            ],
            "replica_count": 2,
            "volume_type": "replicated",
            "bricks": [
              "/srv/space/staticfiles/"
            ]
          }
        }

I can look at adding support for existing disks. Feel free to submit a PR if you wish though :)
