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. + +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 +removed. + +It can also be added to Ubuntu deb packages by placing it in debian/upstart +inside the source package (or debian/glusterd.upstart if the source package +builds multiple binary packages.) + +This affects all versions of glusterfs on the ubuntu platform. |
