Re: [Moosefs-users] MooseFS to NFS gateway

[Elliot F. <efi...@gm...>]

MFS 1.6.20.  We haven't had any problems accessing MFS filesystems via
FreeBSD, but as you stated, there is an issue with re-export on
FreeBSD (Fuse related).  Also, we are unable to mount a MFS volume via
fstab, so we just mount them via script in /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
