Mike - this will work - I've done it, as have many others on this list - but the fuse RPM will have to be installed on the clients, because they will only be able to access it as a fuse filesystem once it has been mounted via NFS.

At least, that was my experience - anybody that has gotten it to work with FUSE please let us know how you did it.

So, to accomplish this right now I would need to disable the builtin NFS server, enable the OS NFS server, mount the Gluster file system and export as normal via /etc/exports?

Just brainstorming here,

Mike
