As I said, that's what I'm doing now -- using the virtual IP address 
managed by ucarp in my fstab line.  But Craig Carl from Gluster told the 
OP in this thread specifically to mount using the real IP address of a 
server when using the GlusterFS client, *not* to use the ucarp VIP.

So I'm officially confused.
