NFS-Ganesha is a user-mode NFS fileserver supporting NFSv3, v4, and v4.1, plus the 9p protocol, running on most UNIX/Linux systems. It can export backends such as CephFS, GlusterFS, RGW, GPFS, and Lustre.
Use cases
- serve nfs shares from userspace
- export cephfs over nfs
- run an nfs server without kernel modules
- provide nfs access to glusterfs volumes
- share files over nfsv4 on linux
When to choose
- you need an NFS server in user space with filesystem backend flexibility
- you want to export CephFS or GlusterFS via NFS
When to avoid
- you need maximum kernel-level NFS performance
- you need a simple static file server over HTTP
