Hi Mike.
Using this method, you still need to have fuse on the NFS client, because what
the regular NFS server exports is in fact the Gluster fuse filesystem. I know,
because I went down this path as well.
I believe that the purpose of the Gluster NFS server was to eliminate this
dependency - which it does very well, in my experience.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [SPAM?] [Gluster-users] Disabling NFS
Importance: Low
Howdy,
With 3.1.3 the option was added to disable the builtin Gluster NFS.
Does that mean that the following scenario should work:
1. Disable Gluster NFS "gluster volume set <VOLUME> nfs.disable
on"
2. Restart the gluster servers for good measure
3. On one of the gluster servers, mount the volume using the gluster fuse
client:
mkdir /export/users
# In /etc/fstab add
localhost:/users /export/users glusterfs defaults,_netdev 0 0
mount /export/users
4. Export the gluster mounted volume from the gluster server using CentOS 5.5
provided NFS server:
cat /etc/exports
/exports/users/someuser 192.168.2.10(rw,async,root_squash)
5. Start system provided NFS server on the gluster server, configure the
firewall properly for NFS access
6. On the client machine, 192.168.2.10, check that the export is advertised:
$ /usr/sbin/showmount -e nas-srv-01
Export list for nas-srv-01:
/export/users/someuser 192.168.2.10
7. Mount it on the client 192.168.2.10 machine
mount -t nfs nas-srv-01:/export/users/someuser /mnt/someuser
mount: nas-srv-01:/export/users/someuser failed, reason given by server:
Permission denied
The server reports:
Mar 30 11:59:50 nas-srv-01 mountd[20233]: authenticated mount request from
192.168.2.10:909 for /export/users/someuser (/export/users/someuser)
Mar 30 11:59:50 nas-srv-01 mountd[20233]: Cannot export /export/users/someuser,
possibly unsupported filesystem or fsid= required
