Thanks, I understand it. Now I am trying to export a volume through nfs-ganesha but have a question again. In the EXPORT block in ganesha.conf, for the export path I need the enter the full path to gluster volume. So this means that I need to mount the gluster volume on the server right? Currently I don't have gluster volume mounted on servers. If this is true each server also will be a client right?
