[Gluster-users] Do clients need to run glusterd?

[Joshua Baker-LePain]

The glusterfs-core RPM installs the glusterd daemon and sets it to start 
automatically.  I figured this wasn't needed on clients, so I turned it 
off.  However, I now see tons of messages like this in the logs of the 
servers:

[2011-05-06 00:03:57.253243] W [socket.c:1494:__socket_proto_state_machine] 0-socket.management: reading from socket failed. Error (Transport endpoint is not connected), peer (172.19.12.160:1022)

where 172.19.12.160 is an example client address.  The simple tests I've 
run seem to work (file creation, can see new files from other clients, 
etc).  But the warning message gave me pause.
