Mounting local file systems in cluster

Dear Gurus,

This is probably one of those problems that the answer is so obvious it's elusive (more likely I'm just dense). We're running TruCluster 5.1A on a two-node cluster. Each server has a locally attached disk that I would like to use for an application to write temporary files to. The local disks do not need to be shared.

I created domains local_domain1 and local_domain2 for servers member1 and member2 respectively. I used mkcdsl to create a link called /localdata that points to /cluster/members/{memb}/localdata. So no matter which node the application runs on, all my user has to do is just specify /localdata as the path in a config file.

My problem is knowing how to set up fstab so that member1 isn't trying to mount member2's filesystem and member2 isn't trying to mount member1's filesystem.

Is there such a thing as a member specific fstab? I searched in the TruCluster documentation but wasn't able to find the answer.

Thanks very much for your help,
