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

[Anthony J. Biacco]

I never understood before why shutting down the glusterd service killed
the clients too. But given this, now I get it.
I'm guessing it would not be recommended or supported then to run a
gluster client on the same machine as a gluster server? Even if the
gluster client is connecting to a server other than the one on the local
machine.
