Hi Brent,

I have local client files, though they are all managed from a central
location via diskless booting.

I do not reference a client spec file in the glusterfsd spec file. 
However, I do reference the volumes defined in the glusterfsd spec file in
the client spec file.

> and how do you reference the different client specs when doing the mounts?

I name my client files after my mounts. For example "/home" would be
"/etc/glusterfs/home.vol" and it would look like this alongside "/var" in
the fstab:

/etc/glusterfs/home.vol  /home  glusterfs  defaults  0  0
/etc/glusterfs/var.vol      /var     glusterfs  defaults  0  0

Once it is in the fstab, you can mount it with:
`mount  /home`
or
`mount -t glusterfs /etc/glusterfs/home.vol /home`

I hope I did not miss your question...
