It's just not clear in the documentation what it even means to say that
nfs is enabled. Does that mean each peer becomes an nfs server?
Again, the nfs port isn't open on any of the 51 peers in my cluster. I
take it that is an indication of a problem?
What if I join a machine that is already running nfs to the cluster?

Hi John,
I think on gluster 3.3 and 3.4, nfs is enabled by default.
nfs is actually a translator, so it's in the 'stack' already - this is
why you don't need the nfs-kernel-server package.
When mounting from a client, you just need to ensure the mount options
are right
i.e. use the following -o proto=tcp,vers=3 (for linux)
The other consideration is that by default the volume will expose 64bit
inodes - if you have a 32bit apps, or OS you'll need to tweak the
gluster volume with "vol set <vol> nfs.enable-ino32 on"
I haven't got a 3.3 system handy, but on a 3.4 system if you run the
following
gluster vol set help | grep "^Option: nfs."
you'll get a view of all the nfs tweaks that can be made with the
translator.
Cheers,
Paul C

Maybe this is a dumb question but do I have to set up an nfs server on
one of the server peers in my gluster volume in order to connect to
the
volume with nfs? I did a port scan on a couple of the peers in my
cluster and port 2049 was cloased. I'm thinking maybe you have to
configure an nfs server on one of the peers and it can read/write to
the
gluster volume like it would any disk. But then what do these
commands do:
gluster volume set <VOLNAME> nfs.disable off
gluster volume set <VOLNAME> nfs.disable on
The documentation on the gluster.org web site seems to imply that yu
don't need an nfs server. It specifically says you need the nfs-common
package on your servers. That would imply you don't need the
nfs-kernel-server package, right? See:
