Comment 8 for bug 1103047

Clayton, can you provide the output of 'mountall --verbose' requested in comment #5, when using the _netdev option? To get this output, add --verbose to the commandline in /etc/init/mountall.conf (as in the original bug report).

BTW, glusterfs doesn't require any client daemons to be running for mounts to work, does it (like NFS does)? From the Ubuntu packages, it doesn't look like this is the case.
