Gluster users - Nov 2010 - Proper Procedure when Rebooting Server(s)

Howdy,

In GlusterFS 3.1, what is the proper procedure if you need to reboot one or more
servers that serve distributed volumes?

Do you have to umount the clients first, then do a "gluster volume stop
f00" on one of the servers (assuming only 1 volume), reboot, "gluster
volume start f00", then remount the clients?

Or just a "gluster volume stop...", reboot, "gluster volume
start..."

Or can you simply reboot and the clients accessing files on the brick(s) on the
server will simply wait for the server to come back up, nice and graceful like
:-)

Thanks

Mike - 
" nice and graceful like :-)" 




Thanks,
