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

[Martin Schenker]

That's exactly how we're running our systems. Boxes are both, server and
clients. 

So there's then no way to separate the client functionality from the server
part? No clean cut between glusterd and glusterfsd?

Best,  Martin

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.
