Mohit, GlusterFS supports native NFS server protocol, hence you can use the clients to connect to a glusterfs server using NFS mount too, If you are mounting using below command. bash# mount -t glusterfs somehost:/volume /mount/point you can also mount it in nfs like below: bash# mount -t nfs somehost:/volume /mount/point Thats the reason why you are seeing the nfs with glusterfs.. and we think the name is appropriate because that particular process of glusterfs is serving NFS protocol.
