I am attempting to install linux vserver to a glusterfs volume across two nodes. Everything is working well for normal files. I can bind mount a gluster volume as /opt for example. I am unable to make the / filesystem on a glusterfs brick. I notice that even though I can configure the system like this: vi /etc/fstab /opt/jtg/conf/jtg-client.vol /opt/jtg/mnt/shared glusterfs setuid,dev,rw,nouser,exec 0 0 After a mount the permissions are always the same. vi /etc/mtab glusterfs /opt/jtg/mnt/shared fuse rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=1048576 0 0 It seems that the nosuid argument is always ignored as i can run setuid scripts. ./ping 127.0.0.1 More importantly I believe the 'dev' option is required linux-vserver, but it does not seem like I can activate this mount option. bash-3.2# cat null cat: null: Permission denied If anyone has any hints let me know.
