ovspoolfs and repository persistence

Hi Gurus,

I'm evaluating OVM3.1.1.  I successfully created a server pool and repository on NFS. after the operation, I found that following new mounts were added on the OVS server:

               192.168.2.175:/share/ovs-svrpool on /nfsmnt/72404e6c-da97-4eed-af72-ddb795b95764 type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.2.175)
               /dev/mapper/ovspoolfs on /poolfsmnt/0004fb00000500007af1ab21aa0deb88 type ocfs2 (rw,_netdev,heartbeat=global)
               192.168.2.175:/share/ovs-repo on /OVS/Repositories/0004fb000003000030eb1627fe21a568 type nfs (rw,addr=192.168.2.175)

and a file call ovspoolfs.img of 10G size were created in 192.168.2.175:/share/ovs-svrpool directory.

However, they were not put in the /etc/fstab. So when I rebooted the OVS server, those mounts were gone and their mount points disappeared as well. the file ovspoolfs.img was also deleted. VM manager showed the OVS server was running with error. I tried refresh the file server, the ovspoolfs and repository were still not mounted. Could someone please tell me how to make those mounts persistent and avoid deleting ovspoolfs.img when OVS server is rebooted? Is there any special procedure for rebooting OVS server?

Howdy, Stranger!
