+Feature
+-------
+
+Gluster NFS Defaults to Off.
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+Currently, when a volume is created and started, the default setting for nfs.disable
+is off/false; when the volume is started, a glusterfs nfs server process is started.
+
+The Gluster NFS server is NFSv3 only, and is not being actively developed. Meanwhile
+NFS-Ganesha supprts NFSv3, NFSv4, NFSv4.1, and pNFS; and NFSv4.2 is under development.
+
+Initial support for NFS-Ganesha first appeared in GlusterFS 3.7 with the introduction
+of CLI support for using ganesha.nfsd instead of the glusterfs nfs server, however
+the glusterfs nfs server remained enabled by default.
+
+The next step toward eventual deprecation of the glusterfs nfs server is to change the
+default setting for nfs.disable to on/true. Users who wish to continue to use the
+glusterfs nfs server will have to explicitly set nfs.disable to off/false after they
+create the volume. Existing volumes that had nfs.disable set to off/false will not be
+altered, those volumes will continue to start the glusterfs nfs server.
+
+Eventually the glusterfs nfs server will be fully deprecated in favor of NFS-Ganesha.
