[Gluster-users] Cannot mount NFS (FIXED)

Thanks for all the help... I finally managed to get this working correctly.

All I needed to do was install the nfs-common package in both servers and 
clients and restart the glusterd daemon on the servers:

  $ sudo aptitude install nfs-common
  $ sudo service glusterd restart

after this running "showmount -e" shows the correct result on all gluster 
nodes:

  $showmount -e <gluster-server-ipaddress>
   Export list for <server-ipaddress>:  
   /datar2 *
   /www    *
   /upload *

Hope this saves some headaches and spares some keyboards for someone with the 
same problem.

Also the glusterFS deb file for Ubuntu should list nfs-common as a dependency 
to avoid this problem in the  first place.

thanks again.....
