[NFS-Ganesha-Support] Re: questions about stability of nfs-ganesha versions and PROXY FSAL

Thanks for the feedback, Daniel.  I quickly tried upgrading to from 2.8 to 3.2 on our CentOS 7 nfs-ganesha server.  The 'yum upgrade' process appeared to go just fine - it was simply a matter of:   systemctl stop nfs-ganesha   yum install centos-release-nfs-ganesha30   yum update   systemctl start nfs-ganesha to go from nfs-ganesha-2.8.3-4.el7.x86_64 to nfs-ganesha-3.2-6.el7.x86_64. Unfortunately that was the extent of my joy.  Upon startup, ganesha.nfsd crashed with these log entries:   Apr 13 22:48:17 ganesha systemd: Started NFS-Ganesha file server.   Apr 13 22:48:17 ganesha rpc.statd[30746]: Received SM_UNMON_ALL request   from ganesha while not monitoring any hosts   Apr 13 22:48:52 ganesha kernel: ganesha.nfsd[30820]: segfault at   7f561b35d26f ip 00007f561b35d26f sp 00007f561b35bc18 error 15   Apr 13 22:48:52 ganesha systemd: nfs-ganesha.service: main process   exited, code=killed, status=11/SEGV I quickly downgraded since I wasn't in a position to try to debug this at that time. I admit that I did not dig for documentation that describes potential issues when upgrading from 2.8 to 3.2.  Are there any that I should be aware of before trying this again?  For example, are there any significant ganesha.conf changes required for this upgrade?
