[Gluster-users] NFS problem

[Shehjar Tikoo]

Hi

Due to time constraints, booster has gone untested for the last couple
of months. I suggest using unfsd over fuse for the time
being. We'll be releasing an alpha of the NFS translator
somewhere in March. Let me know if you'd be interested in doing
early testing?

Thanks
