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).

+ +

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.

+ + + + +

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.
