[Gluster-users] glusterfs fuse mount on clients

[Chen Chen]

Hi Alessandro,

Seems you don't need to worry about the load problem if you are using 
the native fuse mount:

"The server specified in the mount command is only used to fetch the 
gluster configuration volfile describing the volume name. Subsequently, 
the client will communicate directly with the servers mentioned in the 
volfile (which might not even include the one used for mount)."
