<div dir="ltr">And do either of them perform better than fuse mounts ? With native nfs, all data is routed through the server where it's mounted from, which makes HA and load balancing difficult. For pNFS, there is a single metadata server. How does that affect HA and load ? I thought one of the main goals of gluster was decentralized metadata. Where do the four options (fuse, native nfs, nfsv4, pnfs ) stand in terms of benefits and disadvantages ? </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Aug 12, 2015 at 11:26 AM, Joe Julian <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:joe@julianfamily.org" target="_blank">joe@julianfamily.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

nfs-ganesha is a much more feature rich nfs server that uses
libgfapi to access the gluster volume in userspace. This userspace
solution avoids the context switches like the native gluster nfs
does, but adds support for pnfs/nfsv4 and udp.<br>
<br>
From the development standpoint, they have a full set of developers
working only on and focused only on their nfs server whereas the
gluster version was implemented as a stop-gap to provide a solution
where the kernel nfs re-share was failing.<br>
<br>
I think nfs-ganesha is a better solution. There is integration work
being done in glusterfs to make its use seamless, so I suspect
that's the long-term nfs solution that will eventually replace
gluster's native nfs.<div><div class="h5"><br>
