Yes they should be different. Thanks for pointing out.

*So the same volume config file can be used to start up the server and mount
the FS?
i.e.

# glusterfsd -f /etc/glusterfs/foo.vol

and

/etc/glusterfs/foo.vol /foo glusterfs defaults 0 0
in /etc/fstab?

Or is an additional setup/option required somewhere?
Or is only one of the above actually required? Would in this configuration
mounting the FS get the server process going implicitly, since it's now the
same process?

* Actually if you start mountpoint, it implicitly starts server. Hence its
just one command now. Nothing extra. Will update the wiki file.

Regards,
Amar
