Hi Dan, I have a patch in the -next version of libhugetlbfs that checks mount permissions before trying to use a specific mount point. I plan on packaging libhugetlbfs 2.13 this weekend or next depending on my schedule. I will send out an announcement to the list when the release goes out and I will make sure that you are cc'd.
