Wido, would this work if I were to run nfs over two or more servers with 
virtual IP? 

I can see what you've suggested working in a one server setup. What about if 
you want to have two nfs servers in an active/backup or active/active setup? 

Thanks 

Andrei

Use kernel RBD, put XFS on it an re-export that with NFS? Would that be 
something that works? 

I'd however suggest that you use a recent kernel so that you have a new 
version of krbd. For example Ubuntu 14.04 LTS.
