[Gluster-devel] GlusterFS 1.3.0-pre2.3: glusterfs command option: --server

[Brent A Nelson]

glusterfsd knows where the client spec file is and will feed it to a 
requesting client if you have a line like the following in your server 
section:

option client-volume-filename /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol

Thanks,

Brent
