Hi Strahil,
Of course I have more than one node, other nodes are supporting the
bricks and the data. I am using a node with no data to solve this issue
with NFS. But in my comparison between gNFS and Ganesha, I was using the
same configuration, with one node with no birck accessing the other
nodes for the data. So the only change between what is working and what
was not is the NFS server. Beside, I have been using NFS for over 15
years and know that given my data and type of activity, one single NFS
server should be able to serve 5 to 10 clients without a problem, that
is why I suspected Ganesha from the begining.
If I cannot configure gNFS, I think I could glusterfs_mount the volume
and use the native NFS server of Linux, but that would add overhead and
leave some features behind, that is why my focus is primarily on
configuring gNFS.

MTU 1500 (I think it is my switch that never worked with jumbo
frames). I have a dedicated VLAN for NFS and gluster and a VLAN for
users connection.
I hope that helps.
