Well, they may be nfs problems rather than gfs2 problems.

In either case, neither pnfs/gfs2 nor spnfs is a particularly mature
project; you will find bugs and performance problems in both.

I think a cluster-filesystem-based approach probably has the better
chance of getting merged earlier, as it solves a number of thorny
problems (such as how to do IO through the MDS) for you.  But it all
depends on what your goals are.  Either will require significant
development work to get into acceptable shape.
