[Gluster-devel] NFS reexport

Hello,
  
  I am testing a very simple config (1 client, 2 server).  What i  would like to know is, is it possible to mount multiple external usb  drives to the server while simultaneously "nfs" mapping a raid server  (freebsd - no gluster) to be "unified" and viewed via the gluster  client? 
  
  To clarify:
  
  1 client  (Linux)
  1 server (Linux w/ 2 500GB usb drives) 
  1 server (freeBSD - RAID w/ 1TB)
  
  Here's the idea:
  
  The linux server would "mount" the FreeBSD server because, gluster is not supported on bsd (huge bummer).  
  
  The linux server would also have external usb drives mounted (2- 500GB)
  
  Then, "unify" the NFS mount (reexport ?) along with the external drives to the same namespace. 
  
  If possible, I should see 2TB from the client.  If so, what kind of config should I use?
  
  
  Thanks
