Bug Description
I configured cinder to work with gluster as backend and due to some issue mounting gluster cinder-volumes could not be started
I am not sure this is a correct behaviour since if a service is down we need to manually start it (which is not nice to do in a large scale deployment with lots of cinder servers).
I think that the best practice for this would be to allow the service to start and try to mount every X time so that when the storage is available it will automatically connect - so not needing manual interference from the admin.

I would suggest making this generic - the driver's do_setup implementation can raise some "unavailable" exception, and the manager can then retry. I saw at least one other driver fix this issue, and it exists in others as well - the fix should be made generic.
