Many enterprises still heavily depend on NFS to access their data from different operating systems and applications. NFS-Ganesha is a user-space NFS server that supports NFSv3, NFSv4, NFSv4.1, as well as pNFS.

GlusterFS has now added NFS-Ganesha server to its NFS stack to eventually replace the 'native' Gluster-NFS server which supports only NFSv3. The integration with NFS-Ganesha now means additional protocol support for NFSv4+, and better security and authentication mechanisms for enterprise use. The recent release of GlusterFS-3.7 introduced clustered, multi-head, active/active NFS support using Pacemaker and Corosync for High Availability. There is also tighter integration with Gluster CLI to manage NFS-Ganesha exports. This presentation is aimed at providing a basic overview of the entire solution and step-by-step configuration.
