Hi, the glusterfs process is the responsible of managing a mount point and it is started by the mount operation, not by the glusterd daemon. A glusterfs process will be started for each mount of the volume and it will be stopped once the volume is umounted. The glusterfsd processes are the responsible of managing the bricks of a volume. They are started when the volume is started (this can happen when the glusterd daemon starts if the volume was already marked as started or when a 'gluster volume <volname> start' is executed). They are stopped when the volume is stopped or a 'glusterfsd stop' is executed. To manually stop all gluster processes, you should do this: 1. Umount the volume 2. Execute 'gluster volume <volname> stop' or '/etc/init.d/glusterfsd stop' 3. Execute '/etc/init.d/glusterd stop' Note that if you stop the volume with 'gluster volume <volname> stop', it won't automatically start when glusterd is started again, a manual 'gluster volume <volname> start' will be needed. However a 'glusterfsd stop' will kill all glusterfsd processes from all volumes.
