Gluster supports both file and block backends. While the above is true for
file backend (which uses ftruncate), the same is not true for
block backend (which uses lvcreate & lvresize).

So overall it is not safe to assume that an image on GlusterFS volume
reads back as zeroes after create.

Bharata.
