Lustre discuss - Oct 2007 - automatic client startup on OSS's

Google isn''t yielding much on this....

In the Lustre 1.6 docs I see how to automatically start servers in
/etc/fstab.  My servers are also clients.  Mounting clients in
/etc/fstab seemed to hang everything.  I had to log into each OSS and
mount the OST manually.  Then all was well.  So my question is - how can
one reliably start clients that are also OSS''s?

Thanks,
Joe

Perhaps I can make this a moot issue.  We recommend against running
clients on OSSes as memory pressure between the two can lead to
deadlocks.
