[Gluster-users] Gluster and SL storage

[Venkatesh Gopal]

No, SL does not give other options to mount its storage. I will have to 
check what options are feasible.

So, can we not create a gluster volume on a NFS mount point directory? 

Hi Venkatesh,

One of the requirements for glusterfs volume is that backend need tot 
support extended attributes.
The nfs shares does not support xttars.
Is there any specfic reason to use nfs share as brick(glusterfs server)?
