Ok, now im confused. 1) What happens if you have the following in fstab. For me even after the server reboots, with df -h I see the mounted volume. a. /testgfs:/gfsvol /mnt/gfsmount glusterFS defaults 0 0 b. What exactly gets mounts this time.. 2) What happens if I have this in the fstab. a. /testgfs:/gfsvol /mnt/gfsmount glusterFS defaults,_netdev 0 0 b. Even this time, I see the mounted volume. What exactly is mounted then .??

I don't know if this has any connection with the below described problem: It's supposed to make the gluster mount wait until networking is started before trying to mount it. As far as I'm aware it doesn't work. I've still not found a sane, reliable solution to make gluster mount on boot - at the moment I have an rc.local script that waits for a while before mounting, but it only works about 50% of the time. No idea if that has any bearing on your issue. Marcus -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
