Gluster users - Nov 2010 - Exposing parts of a volume to specific clients?

Howdy,

We have 18TB at our disposal to share via GlusterFS 3.1. My initial thought was
to create a single volume, comprised of 18 x 1TB bricks. The volume will be used
for user storage as well as storage for applications.

Is there any way to create different exports for the various clients via NFS and
Gluster client?

For example, the server used by our user base should be able to mount the users
directory on the gfs volume (nas-01:/gfs/users), where as the yum repository
server should only be able to mount nas-01:/gfs/repo

Essentially, I only want to expose what's necessary for each client machine
to perform its roll.

If this isn't possible directly within GlusterFS, I'm open to
suggestions to rethink my strategy.

Thanks,

Mike
