I have seen that you can change the backend daemon logging since GlusterFS v3.12.0¹, and there appears to be an interactive --localtime-logging option for the glusterfs FUSE mount program, but there is no equivalent mount option listed in `man 8 mount.glusterfs`.

We are running GlusterFS 8.6.

 

When you call the mount helper with `mount -t gluster ...`, all it does is essentially run the glusterfs binary with the relevant arguments.

i.e.  mount -t glusterfs -o $OPTION $HOST:$VOLNAME /path/to/fuse_mount 

is the same as manually running:  /bin/glusterfs --process-name fuse --volfile-server=$HOST --volfile-id=$VOLNAME --$OPTION /path/to/fuse_mount/

The following fix should expose the --localtime-logging OPTION to the mount helper:

I'll send a PR after testing. In the meantime, you can try mounting using eg:

/path/to/bin/glusterfs --process-name fuse --volfile-server=$HOST --volfile-id=$VOLNAME --localtime-logging /path/to/fuse_mount/ .

Hope this helps,

Ravi
