It is recommended to use partitions for GlusterFS volumes which are different from the / partition. The environment on this example is set as that sdb1 is mounted on [/var/lib/glusterfs] directory for GlusterFS Configuration on all Nodes.
[1]
Install GlusterFS Server on All Nodes, refer to here.
[2] Create a Directory for GlusterFS Volume on all Nodes.
root@node01:~#
mkdir -p /var/lib/glusterfs/strip-replica

[3] Configure Clustering like follows on a node. (it's OK on any node)
# probe the node

root@node01:~#
gluster peer probe node02

peer probe: success.
root@node01:~#
gluster peer probe node03

peer probe: success.
root@node01:~#
gluster peer probe node04

peer probe: success.
# show status

root@node01:~#
gluster peer status 

Number of Peers: 3

Hostname: node02
Uuid: a39156f3-32cb-451e-9e34-08ce504d72bb
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Hostname: node03
Uuid: b86b98e4-12b6-4581-984d-da420d7b3bbe
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Hostname: node04
Uuid: 6a1fb91a-f483-48c7-8dc7-0f2ac4d8db94
State: Peer in Cluster (Connected)

Options Reconfigured:
transport.address-family: inet
performance.readdir-ahead: on
nfs.disable: on
[4] If use NFS mount from Clients, Start required services first and also configure like follwos.
root@node01:~#
gluster volume set vol_strip-replica nfs.disable off

volume set: success
