That is correct. The client can decide to use nfs BUT nfs needs to be enabled if the user has to mount using nfs. This is enabled by default and that is why you see NFS related process started automatically. If you dont want it, see my earlier reply.

But what I am seeing is that after installing gluster on the "server"
and then do a ps on gluster process it shows "nfs-server.vol, nfs.log
etc." Why?

Thanks for your response

All Gluster volumes are exported through nfs by default. To disable nfs on
3.1.3 release, use the nfs.disable command line option. For more info on
this, please see the release notes.

/etc/glusterd/nfs/run/nfs.pid -l /var/log/glusterfs/nfs.log"

My question is why did glusterfs use nfs-server.vol, nfs.pid and
nfs.log instead of using some generic name. This is confusing and
makes me think it's using nfs somehow on the server even though that
doesn't look like it.

We use direct attached storage, not NFS. This seems to come with
default installation of gluster. Is this just a mistake in how scripts
were named or is there more to it?
