Hi list, I just discovered glusterfs recently, which kind of puzzles me, why haven't I heard of it before? I have looked for something like it for quite a while now! Much about glusterfs just seems more "correct" than many other solutions. It seems more scalable, and I mean that in both ways, up and down. Many of the other solutions neglect the down part. Anyway, I have a question. Is there anyway to make a glusterfs mount be "hard" the way that nfs filesystems can be mounted "hard"? I would like a process to block if the server is down until the server returns. Currently if I run a "ls" on filesystem when the server is down I get: ls: /music: Transport endpoint is not connected If this is not currently possible, is it in the "works"/plan?
