[NFS-Ganesha-Support] Re: nfs-ganesha exits with "Error: couldn't complete write to the log file " error on screen

Ok, you’re probably hitting some selinux issues. I’m not familiar with the policies for selinux but I know folks have been working on some. Kaleb, can you help here?

Are you running in a container or anything like that? Is Ganesha running as root (seems like it would have to be to create the log file as root)? Do you have selinux running in restrictive mode?
