Re: [Gluster-devel] glusterfs as root filesystem

Matthias,

the GlusterFS client works over FUSE, and FUSE doesn't support mmap yet.
That means you can't load libraries (.so) from FUSE filesystems. Witch takes
to no GlusterFS root filesystems.

Well, not 100% sure, but almost.

Best regards,
Daniel
