+      <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>
