I don't think either was really usable (I think unfs3 had some serious limitations, although the project looked rather promising)...
I see the unfs3 project hasn't stood still since I tried it, however, with a new release in January.
I see (recent) messages in fuse-dev which basically say that nfs-kernel-server should work; where did you see the message about them not recommending it and to use unfs3, instead?

I didnt run it long enough to notice if memory grew. Fuse-dev says nfs-kernel-server is depricated and suggested unfs3 which also didnt work. I was hoping its 'removable' option would help, but no. nfs-user-server had an interesting option of re-exporting other nfs mounts, but damn if I couldnt get the client to even mount using it without permission denied no matter what I did.Odd that the userspace nfsd's have the same issue. Samba is the only thing that works. I cant put glusterfs on these boxes either.

Do you also see significant growth in the memory consumed by the glusterfs process that is being reexported?I wonder if the new inode-based release tomorrow will fix the NFS reexport issue...On Thu, 14 Jun 2007, Dale Dude wrote:This may be more for fuse but I thought Id post here first since it seems someone is/has done this.Ubuntu Feisty Kernel 2.6.20-16. Fuse 2.6.5. I tried these userspace servers: unfs3, nfs-user-server I tried the nfs-kernel-serverWith each of the above nfs servers I get spuradic Input/Output errors when I try to 'ls' or 'find' on some directories on the nfs client. I tried fsid option without success. Im using samba/cifs now which works but proving to be way to slow.Any advice would greatly appreciated. Regards, Dale
