All, I wanted to pass on experience that I have trying to get GlusterFS to automount on RedHat 5.5. The documentation for /etc/fstab (http://gluster.com/community/documentation/index.php/Mounting_a_GlusterFS_Volume) doesn't quite work. I have two servers 192.168.104.151 and 192.168.104.152. Both are running GlusterD and both offer one of the bricks for the volume. Both mount also the volume locally. The working /etc/fstab entry on 192.168.104.151 is: 192.168.104.151:/gluster-data /var/gluster/data glusterfs auto,_netdev,rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=131072 0 0 Likewise, the working /etc/fstab entry on 192.168.104.152 is: 192.168.104.152:/gluster-data /var/gluster/data glusterfs auto,_netdev,rw,allow_other,default_permissions,max_read=131072 0 0 If you don't have the "auto,_netdev" options on the mount, then you can mount correctly from the command line with an explicit mount option or a "mount -a" but, when you reboot the server, the mount action in the initscripts locks up the server. Just thought it might help someone... YMMV, etc and all other caveats apply. If anyone else can confirm the above is more generally applicable then it might make sense to update the documentation... Many thanks for GlusterFS, by the way, it "just works". Well done. - Roger
