[Pkg-glusterfs-devel] Bug#555541: patch for glusterfs-client and insserv matter

thanks

In order to make glusterfs work properly with fstab and insserv, two 
scripts
have to be used : the first should mount the glusterfs partition, the 
second
should wait for the partitions to be mounted in case of asynchronous 
startup.
Moreover, insserv header should be properly configured in the scripts.
This mimics NFS client scripts behavior.

The following set of files manage to correctly mount the partitions at 
startup:

  * glusterfs-mount mounts the glusterfs partitions ; its insserv header is
configured to depend on fuse and on $network.

  * mountglusterfs.sh wait for the gluster partition to be mounted ; its
insserv header is configured to only depend on the other init script
glusterfs-mount.

  * The following line should be added to a dedicated file in the insserv
conf.d directory : $remote_fs       $local_fs +mountglusterfs +sendsigs
so that application such as xen might start when their configuration is 
on a
remote glusterfs file system.
    
The problem is that if you make use of nfs, it creates a loop in 
insserv: fuse
also depends on $remote_fs in case (according to the documentation) the 
/usr is
mounted via nfs...

Since we don't need that feature we simply remove the fuse dependency on
$remote_fs by overriding its configuration in the /etc/insserv/overrides/
directory (the joined fuse file). Perhaps, there is a need for splitting 
$remote_fs and and new
insserv variable $remote_usr, but this is beyond the scope of this package.

Those files should be provided by the glusterfs-client package.

Thanks,
