I get the same and a host of other symptoms (I've only tried nfs-kernel-server); it's not really usable. Do you also see significant growth in the memory consumed by the glusterfs process that is being reexported? I wonder if the new inode-based release tomorrow will fix the NFS reexport iss

Uh oh. Maybe I missed reading something. Does NFS currently not work with glusterfs? I was planning on having a 3 server cluster that exported the mounted glusterfs directory to NFS on each of the 3 servers. On 6/14/07, Brent A Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Since many people interested in G

NFS reexport nearly works (you can mount and list directories), but as soon as you start working with it you see that it is very buggy, at the moment (at least with nfs-kernel-server). On Thu, 14 Jun 2007, Brandon Lamb wrote: Uh oh. Maybe I missed reading something. Does NFS currently not wo

I don't know; I've only tried reexporting from Ubuntu. Multiple types of clients fail (including Suns), however. On Thu, 14 Jun 2007, Brandon Lamb wrote: Is this ubuntu specific? I run a mix of centos 4.4, fc 4, 5, 6 and putting together a fedora 7 box. On 6/14/07, Brent A Nelson <[EMAIL PRO

Fortunately, that appears to be out-of-date. Newer versions of FUSE apparently got nfs-kernel-server much more reasonably. Thanks, Brent On Thu, 14 Jun 2007, Dale Dude wrote: Saw it at http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.file-systems.fuse.devel/2669/match=deprecated Brent A Nelson wrote:
