Back to the Twilight Zone again. I removed my rc.local this time and did a reboot, so the fstab mounts should have taken care of it. But they didn't. The fstab line looks like this now on both nodes: localhost:/firewall-scripts /firewall-scripts glusterfs defaults,_netdev 0 0 After logon, my firewall-scripts filesystem is not mounted. A mount -av by hand mounts it up. Here is the extract from /var/log/messages. I noticed a couple of mentions of mounts. . . .
