Comment 7 for bug 1205075

I am skeptical of this mountall diagnosis. I spoke with Paul Boven on IRC and my diagnosis of his problem is that the mount was tried before the glusterfs service was completely ready -- which was a known bug with my PPA packages he uses.

I finally (last night) fixed that bug, for good as far as I can tell. If anyone can try reproducing this bug with my latest packages I would really appreciate your feedback.

The PPA: https://launchpad.net/~semiosis/+archive/ubuntu-glusterfs-3.4/+packages

Furthermore, in regards to the mountall diagnosis, if that were really the problem then I believe it would be affecting all glusterfs versions on Ubuntu going back years, which is definitely not the case. I have been battling mount on boot issues for as long as I have been maintaining ubuntu packages of glusterfs (two years) and never run into an issue with command line arguments between mountall & glusterfs -- for whatever that's worth.

Lastly, my PPA (linked above) is the official upstream distribution channel for glusterfs ubuntu packages. I'd like to work with the distro community to merge my changes into the universe packages. Please get in touch with me if you have any interest in this, I'd really like to hear from you.

Thanks!
