<p>A new option "-manage-gids" was added to the nfsuserd
daemon. This option tells the NFS server to use the list of
groups for a uid on the server and not the list of groups in
the NFS RPC request. Use of this option avoids the 16 group
limit for NFS RPCs using AUTH_SYS (the default).</p>
<p>Work is ongoing with respect to development of pNFS support
for the NFS server using GlusterFS as a back end. This will
be a long term project with the eventual goal of allowing the
NFS server to scale beyond a single server system. Hopefully
it will be available for testing in late Spring 2016. pNFS
allows a NFSv4.1 client to do reads/writes directly to a data
server and not the NFS server.</p>

<p>Development of the pNFS server will be in need of testing
or it will never progress to a near production status. I
hope to have code available in FreeBSD's subversion projects
branch for testing in late spring 2016.</p>
