      Hello,

I was trying to run the ganesha.nfsd as nonroot user and got this error:

21/07/2021 08:53:34 : epoch 60f7e018 : nfs-ganesha-nfs-server-provisioner-0 : nfs-ganesha-20[svc_9] fsal_common_is_referral :FSAL :EVENT :Failed to get attrs for referral, handle: 0x7f9cdaf5b780, valid_mask: 0, request_mask: 82, supported: 0, error: Forbidden action

My vfs.conf file is below:

EXPORT
{
        # Export Id (mandatory, each EXPORT must have a unique Export_Id)
        Export_Id = 0;

        # Exported path (mandatory)
        Path = /nonexistent;

        # Pseudo Path (required for NFS v4)
        Pseudo = /nonexistent;

        # Required for access (default is None)
        # Could use CLIENT blocks instead
        Access_Type = RW;

        # Exporting FSAL
        FSAL {
                Name = VFS;
        }
}

NFS_Core_Param
{
        MNT_Port = 20048;
        NLM_Port = 32803;
        fsid_device = true;
        Protocols = 4;
        enable_RQUOTA = false;
}

NFSV4
{
        Grace_Period = 90;
}

EXPORT
{
        Export_Id = 1;
        Path = /export/pvc-7de28a2a-75da-4136-b381-fe5ebc686caa;
        Pseudo = /export/pvc-7de28a2a-75da-4136-b381-fe5ebc686caa;
        Access_Type = RW;
        Squash = no_root_squash;
        SecType = sys;
        Filesystem_id = 1.1;
        Protocols = 4;
        Transports = TCP;
        FSAL {
                Name = VFS;
        }
}

Is it the same issue being faced in this thread? Am I missing capabilities?
