Hi,

I'm using NetApp as storage (with NFS3) and Director is required for 
shared file system. I suggest to use XFS with CentOS 6 as file system on 
NFS Server, prior to NetApp we use these and works fine but also ext4 is ok.


I have never hear about success story with GFS2 or GlusterFS, if you do 
not want surprises use XFS/EXT4 and NFS3.
