Hi Rick,

Awesome some work man. You have cracked Flexfile layout for gluster volume.

I still wondering why you picked knfs instead of nfs-ganesha? There will 
lot of context switches
between kernel space and user space which may effect the metadata 
performance.
I still remembering the discussion[1] in which I mentioned to use 
ganesha server as MDS.
And usually gluster volume won't export using knfs.
