What does glusterfs --version read on the client? After ensuring I have hostname resolution of the server from the client and disabling the open-behind volume option, I am able to mount via the native client from a RHEL 6 machine with GlusterFS 3.3 downstream bits. Will we be addressing this compatibility caveat via the release documentation, or do we need to address via a configuration change to ensure default compatibility?
Dustin, this is addressed as part of new release... the RHS2.1 GA will be compatible with older clients. Will mark it ON_QA, can you mark it VERIFIED with newer builds?

I don't generally modify BZ statuses because I'm not in Engineering and don't fully understand the implications of the status changes.
Tested out 2.0 clients with 2.1 servers: U4 Clients and 2.1 servers U5 Clients and 2.1 servers U6 Clients and 2.1 servers And 2.1 servers and U6 clients. Works good, marking verified.
