Thank you Frank for your quick reply.
You are right. I was expecting dbus to modify the config file and bring up the export
which was wrong assumptions from my end. When I added an EXPORT block in export.conf and
used the dbus-send command later, I could add the export without any issue.
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/ganesha/export.conf
## Configure an export for some file tree
...
EXPORT {
## Export Id (mandatory, each EXPORT must have a unique Export_Id)
Export_Id = 3;
## Exported path (mandatory)
Path = /home/ganesha_1/;
## Pseudo Path (required for NFSv4 or if mount_path_pseudo = true)
Pseudo = /home/ganesha_1/;
Transports = "TCP";
## Exporting FSAL
FSAL {
Name = VFS;
}
}
[root@localhost ~]# sudo dbus-send --print-reply --system --dest=org.ganesha.nfsd
/org/ganesha/nfsd/ExportMgr org.ganesha.nfsd.exportmgr.AddExport

Export list for localhost.localdomain:
/home/ganesha_nfs_v3 (everyone)
/home/ganesha_nfs_v4 (everyone)
/home/ganesha_1 (everyone)
[root@localhost ~]#
As you have suggested, I have tried SIGHUP as well and it is also working fine for me.
[root@localhost ~]# showmount -e

Once again, thanks a lot for your help.!!
