Using this link as a reference: http://www.gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Gluster_3.1:_Manually_Mounting_Volumes The examples show the Gluster client is capable of mounting the top most directory of the volume. Is it possible to mount sub directories of a volume via "mount -t glusterfs" or am I limited to doing this only by NFS? For example: # mount -t glusterfs *HOSTNAME-OR-IPADDRESS:/VOLNAME/subdir1/subdir2* /* MOUNTDIR* * * My attempts at trying to mount a sub dir results in an error. Based on the errors I see in log files and segments of code in client-handshake.c and glusterfsd-mgmt.c (source version 3.1.3), it seems like gluster treats "/VOLNAME/subdir1/subdir2" as the key/name of the volume when trying to find volume.vol to send back to the client (FWIW, I'm not 100% sure that this is correct as I briefly looked at a few source files pertaining to client access). If this feature is not available, is it due to the client potentially not making the most efficient use of its resources (sockets - depending on number of gluster nodes and number of mounted subdirectories)?
