Hi Brian, Here's a mount line from our first OSS node:
LABEL=lustre-OST0000 /mnt/lustreost0 lustre defaults 0 0 LABEL=lustre-OST0001 /mnt/lustreost1 lustre defaults,noauto 0 0 It has a partner, and the lines in that fstab swap the 'noauto' flag. And from one of the client nodes: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/lustre /mnt/lustre lustre defaults,_netdev 0 0 cheers, Klaus On 2/14/08 10:38 AM, "Brian J.
