I've added NFS server support fort the server image - 
https://github.com/cnxsoft/a10-config/blob/master/kernel/mele-a1000-server.config
So the build tomorrow should support for it.

I did not know GlusterFS, and I see it uses fuse so I would have thought 
the performance may not be as good as NFS, but it seems not to be the case.
