[Gluster-users] Why does glusterfs has nfs stuff on the server

[Mohit Anchlia]

Can you please explain what do you mean by "All Gluster volumes are
exported through nfs"? I thought gluster just uses fuse on the server
and then client can decide to use nfs or not.

But what I am seeing is that after installing gluster on the "server"
and then do a ps on gluster process it shows "nfs-server.vol, nfs.log
etc." Why?

Thanks for your response
