[Gluster-users] Disabling NFS

Strange, I do have the fuse and gluster-fuse / gluster-core packages installed on the client.

I can mount the volume using the gluster

nas-srv-01:/users   /users           glusterfs defaults,_netdev       0 0

Maybe I just need to figure out how to configure builtin Gluster NFS to export like I want.

I'm trying to ensure that from the Gluster servers, I have fine control over which ip addresses can mount specific parts of the volume, similar to what can be done via /etc/exports

Hi Mike.

Using this method, you still need to have fuse on the NFS client, because what the regular NFS server exports is in fact the Gluster fuse filesystem. I know, because I went down this path as well.

I believe that the purpose of the Gluster NFS server was to eliminate this dependency - which it does very well, in my experience.

Hope this helps.

Howdy,

With 3.1.3 the option was added to disable the builtin Gluster NFS.

Does that mean that the following scenario should work:
1. Disable Gluster NFS "gluster volume set <VOLUME> nfs.disable on"
2. Restart the gluster servers for good measure
3. On one of the gluster servers, mount the volume using the gluster fuse client:

mkdir /export/users

# In /etc/fstab add
localhost:/users /export/users           glusterfs defaults,_netdev       0 0

mount /export/users

4. Export the gluster mounted volume from the gluster server using CentOS 5.5 provided NFS server:
cat /etc/exports

/exports/users/someuser   192.168.2.10(rw,async,root_squash)

5. Start system provided NFS server on the gluster server, configure the firewall properly for NFS access

6. On the client machine, 192.168.2.10, check that the export is advertised:

$ /usr/sbin/showmount -e nas-srv-01
Export list for nas-srv-01:
/export/users/someuser 192.168.2.10

7. Mount it on the client 192.168.2.10 machine

mount -t nfs nas-srv-01:/export/users/someuser /mnt/someuser

mount: nas-srv-01:/export/users/someuser failed, reason given by server: Permission denied


The server reports:
Mar 30 11:59:50 nas-srv-01 mountd[20233]: authenticated mount request from 192.168.2.10:909 for /export/users/someuser (/export/users/someuser)
Mar 30 11:59:50 nas-srv-01 mountd[20233]: Cannot export /export/users/someuser, possibly unsupported filesystem or fsid= required
