These patches aren''t available yet. Lustre 1.4.x will contain many
performance improvements, some of which are specifically for making an
NFS export of a Lustre client perform reasonably.
It''s possible that some people are doing NFS exports already, but the
code available today did not receive a lot of attention in this area.
If they are, it is probably extremely slow, and not entirely stable.
SMB export, on the other hand, is known to work pretty well. I don''t
know exactly what the performance is like.
Hope that helps--
