Correct me if my understanding is wrong. They are exposed to the user, but only in a limited way. For example, the user can still set options on a secondary volume, add or remove bricks, initiate a rebalance, and so on. What they can't do is start or mount it separately from its primary. _______________________________________________ Gluster-devel mailing list Gluster-devel@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-devel
