+Bug 765014 - Mounting from localhost in fstab fails at boot on ubuntu
+(https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=765014)

Ubuntu uses upstart instead of init to bootstrap the system and it has a unique
-way of handling fstab, using a program called mountall(8). As a result,
-glusterfs mounts in fstab are tried before the glusterd service is running. In
-the case where the client is also a server and the volume is mounted from
-localhost, the mount fails at boot time. An upstart job for glusterd is needed
-to correct this.
+way of handling fstab, using a program called mountall(8). As a result of using
+a debian initscript to start glusterd, glusterfs mounts in fstab are tried before

+mounting event until glusterd is started.
The glusterd.conf file contains the necessary configuration for upstart to
manage the glusterd service. It should be placed in /etc/init/glusterd.conf
on Ubuntu systems, and then the old initscript /etc/init.d/glusterd can be

+Both of these upstart jobs need to be placed in /etc/init to resolve the issue.

+Starting with Ubuntu 12.04, Precise Pangolin, these upstart jobs will be
