[Gluster-users] _netdev option.

[Bobby Jacob]

Ok, now im confused.

1)      What happens if you have the following in fstab. For me even after the server reboots, with df -h I see the mounted volume.

a.       /testgfs:/gfsvol                 /mnt/gfsmount                glusterFS             defaults               0 0

b.      What exactly gets mounts this time..

2)      What happens if I have this in the fstab.

a.       /testgfs:/gfsvol                 /mnt/gfsmount                glusterFS             defaults,_netdev             0 0

b.      Even this time, I see the mounted volume. What exactly is mounted then .??

Thanks & Regards,
Bobby Jacob

Why do we mention the _netdev option while automatically mounting the glusterFS volume on the client. ?? I don't know if this has any connection with the below described problem:

It's supposed to make the gluster mount wait until networking is started before trying to mount it. As far as I'm aware it doesn't work. I've still not found a sane, reliable solution to make gluster mount on boot - at the moment I have an rc.local script that waits for a while before mounting, but it only works about 50% of the time.

No idea if that has any bearing on your issue.
