If i understand correctly, you are getting this enormous log message
from nfs log only, all other logs and everything are fine now, right ?
If that is the case, and you are not at all using nfs for exporting the
volume, as  a workaround you can disable nfs for your volume or cluster.
(gluster v set nfs.disable on). This will turnoff your gluster nfs
server, and you will no longer get those log messages.

If you can make it, that will be great help to understand the problem.
