[Gluster-users] Gluster Storage platform crashed how to get the data back?

[Bala.FA]

Following needs to be done manually.
1. Make /export/DEVICE-NAME directory as mount point for those data
partitions.  For example, DEVICE-NAME of /dev/sdb1 is sdb1.
2. Make /etc/fstab entries for those devices along with respective mount point.
3. Mount them

Now those partitions are usable.

Thanks,

Regards,
Bala
