Lustre discuss - Aug 2008 - Startup Sequence 1.6.5.1

Is there a recommended startup mounting sequence for 1.6.5.1?

We are internally debating 

MGS lun -> MDS luns -> OSTs 

vs. 

MGS lun -> OSTs -> MDS luns

Both will work but the latter i more noiceless in dmesg as the MDS is a client
of the OST.

The way we do it is, we don''t even keep the startup sequence in
/etc/fstab. We have a seperate script we run to mount up lustre stuff.
We do it at the very end.
