If I shutdown the server processes, wont the clients just wait for it to
come back up? Ie like NFS hard mounts? I don't mind an interruption, I
just want to avoid killing all jobs that are currently accessing the
filesystem if at all possible, our users have suffered a lot recently
with filesystem outages.

By the way, how does one shutdown the glusterfs processes without
stopping a volume? It would be nice to have a quiesce or freeze option
that just stalls all access while maintenance takes place.
