It is not advised to use the Linux kernel NFS-server to export a glusterfs-fuse mountpoint. You can do it, but you have to be aware of the issues explained here: - http://sourceforge.net/p/fuse/fuse/ci/master/tree/README.NFS The other option is to use nfs-ganesha. This is an alternative userspace NFS-server and the current 2.1.0 release should work with fine with glusterfs-3.5.1. I have no idea if packages are available for Ubuntu, but you can find them in the updates-testing repository for Fedora 20 and EPEL-6: - https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-EPEL-2014-1787/nfs-ganesha-2.1.0-1.el6 HTH, Niels _______________________________________________ Gluster-users mailing list Gluster-users@xxxxxxxxxxx http://supercolony.gluster.org/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users
