I tried this, how did you handle the case when a node fails? You can't remount the glusterfs client partition when the node comes back up, because it is marked in use/busy and umount -f does not seem to work (it has a file 'open', but you receive a transport error when trying to access it or the mount.) Does the gluster client have a remount option?
