Hello. I have a system with several VMs, two used as glusterfs servers. If I restart the whole system, as the VMs with the glusterfs volumes are quite slow to boot, I have a problem with other VMs that are coming up faster than the glusterfs VMs. In the client VMs the automounter hangs as it is started before that the glusterfs volumes are 100% up and running. This my auto.direct file: /storage -fstype=glusterfs,defaults,_netdev,backupvolfile-server=glusterfs2 :glusterfs1:volume1 And the error message is #> ls /storage ls: cannot open directory /storage: File o directory not existing # glusterfs --version glusterfs 3.5.2 built on *bleep* Repository revision: git://git.gluster.com/glusterfs.git Copyright (c) 2006-2013 Red Hat, Inc. <http://www.redhat.com/> GlusterFS comes with ABSOLUTELY NO WARRANTY.

By restarting the automounter, after that the glusterfs is up-and-running, the problem disappears as expected. May I ask if there is any way to solve this issue with the automounter or if I have to create a script that is waiting the volumes (and which is the recommended way?)? Tnx and have a nice day Marco _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://www.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
