Re-exporting mounted NFS file system using Ganesha?
by Becker, Jeffrey C. (ARC-TN)[InuTeq, LLC]
Hi. We'd like to use Ganesha for this purpose using the VFS FSAL. However, it seems Ganesha can only do a Proxy re-export from another NFS server. This does not work for our use case for security reasons. Looking at the code, I found the following in FSAL/commonlib.c:
static void posix_create_file_system(struct mntent *mnt)
{
struct fsal_filesystem *fs;
struct avltree_node *node;
if (strncasecmp(mnt->mnt_type, "nfs", 3) == 0) {
LogDebug(COMPONENT_FSAL,
"Ignoring %s because type %s",
mnt->mnt_dir,
mnt->mnt_type);
return;
}
Is there a reason why you don't allow NFS mounts to be re-exported using VFS FSAL? Thanks.
