Is this a difference between storage groups in .21 and .22? As I
understood it in .21 you still need to set up the mounts on all of
your machines, but you don't need to (nor should you) set up storage
groups on each of the machines. They will all use the storage groups
that are defined on the master backend, but they will still need the
identical mount points for that to work properly. Is that correct?
