[Gluster-users] Gluster-users Digest, Vol 32, Issue 45

George,

There is no problem by using  the -o bind option to mount subdirectory, I'm currently using this and it works well.

This is what I'm doing : 

mount -t glusterfs  ylal3020:/athena /users/glusterfs_mnt
mount -o bind /users/glusterfs_mnt/test /otherlocation

or you can mount it a the same location : 
mount -o bind /users/glusterfs_mnt/test /users/glusterfs_mnt

in one line : 

mount -o bind `mount -t glusterfs ylal3020:/athena /users/glusterfs_mnt`/users/glusterfs_mnt/test /users/glusterfs_mnt

Regards,
Garnier Anthony
