Bill -
I have a proposed solution for you, please let me know if it will
work in your environment. You can create a non-distributed,
non-replicated volume on the host, on a *empty* directory, then export
that using Gluster.
# mkdir /newdir
# gluster volume create localdata <localhost>:/newdir
# gluster volume start localdata
# mount -t nfs -o vers=3 localhost:/localdata <some mount point>
Then copy|mv the existing data into <some mount point>. This eliminates
the need to run a second NFS server.
Thanks,
Craig

Many of the computers in our cluster are diskless and those computers

is *not* within a glusterfs file system. The servers for other
bricks in
the cluster have no special nfs needs. I need to be able to disable
glusterfs
nfs on the server for diskless booting and no other server so I can
have use
of the regular nfs server on that server. How would I do that? Is
it even
possible?
Another solution, like moving the glusterfs nfs service to another
port would
also be acceptable. However I would likely still need have to have the
regular nfs service the one that portmap returns for that one server.
