Another alternative is to automount on demand (man 5 autofs), though there are some issues with that (e.g. sometimes /etc/mtab is updated so autofs thinks its mounted but it really isn't). Clean shutdown is also somewhat of a problem, especially with IB (e.g. openibd won't unload if its in use by Lustre). _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
