In the case that the node is both a server and a client, as I wish to 
use it (3-node cluster, where each is both a client and server in 
cluster/replicate configuration), I found that using /etc/fstab to mount 
and the default glusterfsd initscript of S90 causes the mount to be made 
before glusterfsd is up. In a test I just ran where I restarted all 
three nodes at the same time, for the server that came up first, it 
seems the client decided nothing was up. I too think S90 is off, 
although I'm not sure where it should go, or how to make it start 
glusterfsd before it gets to /etc/fstab mounting?

Anybody know the RedHat initscript magic to make glusterfs show up as a 
'network mount', therefore worthy of being mounted a little later? Or if 
it already does this (?) what should glusterfsd be started as to beat this?

Cheers,
