This would actually give the same result: You can mount any glusterfs volume but they will not appear in <linkto>/mtab. Though, they will appear in /proc/mounts. This is somewhat tricky, as you wont't be able to unmount the volume gracefully. IMHO this is quite a disadvantage because for any (system-)diskless computation cluster this tricky situation comes up. Another workaround might be to replace /bin/mount with a script, which keeps the link <linkto>/mtab in sync with /proc/mounts. Will check on this soon. Enno -- Dipl.-Ing.
