Yes, I guess that would be fine.

I suspect that those aren't necessary any more with the latest version of
GlusterFS. There used to be a bug that caused first post-mounting access to
always fail, but I think this has been fixed now.

The simple fact is that it is a GlusterFS issue, not an OSR issue, so I
fully understand the justification for not including this horrible
workaround at all. I only bothered posting it because there was no fix time
given.
