Heh, nah I'm definitely meaning "status" not info.  He's the output from
a vm I'm doing development on using the Gluster 3.5 code base:

  $ sudo gluster volume status
  Status of volume: patchy
  Gluster process                                       Port    Online  Pid

  Brick f19laptop.uk.gluster.org:/d/backends/patchy2    49154   Y       1793
  Brick f19laptop.uk.gluster.org:/d/backends/patchy3    49155   Y       1798
  Brick f19laptop.uk.gluster.org:/d/backends/patchy4    49156   Y       1802
  NFS Server on localhost                               N/A     N       N/A
  Self-heal Daemon on localhost                         N/A     Y       1854

  Task Status of Volume patchy
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  There are no active volume tasks

With the line that says "NFS Server on localhost", it *should* be showing a port
number, pid number, and "Y" for the Online row.

In my case it's not because the NFS server is crashing at startup (Gluster 3.5
bug I'm chasing down).

Hopefully yours does have entries there, otherwise you too could be having a
crashing NFS server. (!)

What's the output of yours look like?

Regards and best wishes,
