Hi, I'm not sure my setup is "the right way", but we encounter problems on nfs-ganesha setup with glusterfs FSAL glusterfs version is 3.13.2-1 ( on Debian 9 ) nfs-ganesha is 2.5.3-1 We have 2 gluster nodes ( called gluster1 an gluster2 ), both with nfs-ganesha installed. Some NFS clients connect to gluster1, others to gluster2 We are using ACL on gluster (with ext4 on the bricks) and they are activated in ganesha conf We had the first problem 2 days ago, on gluster1, the second yesterday on gluster2 In the minutes befores the NFS stops responding, the only suspect log I get is : 27/05/2019 17:16:00 : epoch 5cebf468 : gluster1 : ganesha.nfsd-1877[work-123] posix_acl_2_fsal_acl :FSAL :WARN :Cannot retrieve permission set 27/05/2019 17:16:00 : epoch 5cebf468 : gluster1 : ganesha.nfsd-1877[work-123] posix_acl_2_fsal_acl :FSAL :WARN :Cannot retrieve permission set ( and so, thousands of lines ) the same, for second problem : 28/05/2019 18:18:16 : epoch 5cecdfa1 : gluster2 : ganesha.nfsd-11510[work-229] posix_acl_2_fsal_acl :FSAL :WARN :Cannot retrieve permission set 28/05/2019 18:18:16 : epoch 5cecdfa1 : gluster2 : ganesha.nfsd-11510[work-229] posix_acl_2_fsal_acl :FSAL :WARN :Cannot retrieve permission set ( and so, thousands of lines ) Restart of the nfs-ganesha process seems to be enough to restore access The ganesha.conf file is like this : NFS_Core_Param { #Use supplied name other tha IP In NSM operations NSM_Use_Caller_Name = true; #Copy lock states into "/var/lib/nfs/ganesha" dir Clustered = false; #Use a non-privileged port for RQuota Rquota_Port = 875; } EXPORT{ Export_Id = 1 ; # Export ID unique to each export Path = "/alternc-html"; # Path of the volume to be exported. Eg: "/test_volume" FSAL { name = GLUSTER; hostname = "127.0.0.1"; # IP of one of the nodes in the trusted pool volume = "alternc-html"; # Volume name. Eg: "test_volume" } Access_type = RW; # Access permissions Squash = No_root_squash; # To enable/disable root squashing Disable_ACL = FALSE; # To enable/disable ACL Pseudo = "/alternc-html"; # NFSv4 pseudo path for this export. Eg: "/test_volume_pseudo" Protocols = "3"; ##,"4" ; # NFS protocols supported Transports = "UDP","TCP" ; # Transport protocols supported SecType = "sys"; # Security flavors supported }
