For a different reason, I have been using a subdirectory of the mountpoint for the brick - e.g. if the filesystem is /mnt/xyz then I have done mkdir /mnt/xyz/brick1 and set the brick as server1:/mnt/xyz/brick1 However I think this also fixes your problem, because if you try to mount when the brick1 directory is not present, the glusterfsd process doesn't start. The client doesn't get a good error message, but buried in the server logs you can see what happened. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=839021 [2012-07-10 18:25:57.804526] E [posix.c:3930:init] 0-single1-posix: Directory '/disk/storage1/single1' doesn't exist, exiting.
