yes certain - the mount command is in the fstab and it uses all fully qualified domain names.

Alastair,

'backupvolfile-server' option accepts only one hostname or FQDN.
Reading your older mail thread, I see that you are using 2 hostnames.

'backupvolfile-server' mount option is available only for backward compatibility purpose.
You can use - "backup-volfile-servers" option which accepts multiple hostnames delimited by ":"

For eg. # mount -t glusterfs -o backup-volfile-servers=host1:host2 <server>:/<vol-name>  <mount-point>

-- Satheesaran S

btw Atin, gmail showed me an empy reply - had to use view original to see your question, not sure why, are you sending plaintext?

Are you sure you didn't use short name in your mount command?
