Description Sachidananda Urs 2011-06-19 16:23:39 UTC 
While mounting GlusterFS if the mount point does not exist no proper error is shown but usage message is printed which is rather confusing.

# mount -t glusterfs hostname:foo /non/existing/dir
Usage:  mount.glusterfs <volumeserver>:<volumeid/volumeport> -o <options> <mountpoint>
Options:
man 8 mount.glusterfs

To display the version number of the mount helper:
mount.glusterfs --version

=====================

Print a directory does not exist error.
