New subject: dbus-send AddExport is failing with "Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.InvalidArgs: Error finding exports: EXPORT(Export_Id=3, ...).FSAL(Name="VFS") because No such file or directory"

11 Jun 2020

      Hi,
I am exploring dynamic export in NFS-Ganesha using dbus-send. I could compile NFS-Ganesha with "USE_DBUS=ON" and could also start the ganesha.nfsd. The exports which were present in my config file are properly up when I started ganesha.nfsd. But, I am not able to add any new export. dbus-send command is always failing with below error

[root@localhost ~]# ls -lrt /home/

Can someone please help on this?

I have followed the steps mentioned in: https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/wiki/Dbusinterface
