Here is a link to my startup script - it will gracefully (or forcefully) umount the client GlusterFS mounts on startup, shutdown, or as called. http://pastebin.com/5w5NDe8S Just remove the /etc/init.d/glusterd stop logic, and you should be fine. No comments on the coding ...

Importance: Low Martin, Would it work to just umount the share that the client is working through? That is, if you have mount -t glusterfs localhost:/blah /mnt/blah then umount /mnt/blah should get the client out of your way, right? Doesn't take it out of the process list, but it should be concerned with your ext4 volume after that, that I can see.
