 +When not all storage servers are up, client mounts will fail. This is just an optional "sanity check" which the client performs when it is  mounted. Disable this check by setting "sysMountSanityCheckMS=0" in beegfs-client.conf. When the sanity check is disabled, the client mount will succeed even if no servers are running.

 +In order to able able to take a storage server off line without any impact, all content needs to mirrored.

 +# seems to work, notice the ''buddymir'' directory on primary/secondary
 +
 +</code>
 +
 +Here is an important note, from community list:
 +
 +  * "actual: 1" means "1 buddy mirror group"
 +    * so the important line that tells you that this file is mirrored is "Type: Buddy Mirror".
 +  * "desired: 2" means you would like to stripe across 2 buddy groups. (targets are buddygroups here)
