if I my add my 2 cents: as I reported in an earlier posting, it is 
possible to mount the same mount-point several times, which results in 
serveral glusterfs processes running. in such a case, you need to kill 
all of them or umount several times.

of course, it would be best to prevent a second mount of a already 
mounted gluster share (someone posted a recipe on how one could to 
this; may this should be patched into the sources?).


Cheers, Sascha
