Hello, I want to setup an active-passive two node nfsv4 only cluster. Is it safe to have /var/lib/nfs/ganesha on shared storage with both instances of ganesha running but only one owning the sole VIP, so only one node is answering client requests / updating the recovery files? I.e., by safe, I mean the recovery files will not get corrupted / deleted by the other node? I see paths "node0" that suggest that a shared storage use case was considered. /var/lib/nfs/ganesha/v4old/node0 /var/lib/nfs/ganesha/v4recov/node0 But, I don't see anywhere in the man pages to indicate that an instance is e.g., node1. And, if there was, I would need a way to tell node1 to use node0's recovery files when node1 becomes master. If safe, my thought was to have a keepalived notify script run something like this when a node enters MASTER state. But, if there were separate node0 and node1 recovery file paths, I don't see how to tell nodeX to use nodeY's recovery files on failover initiated recovery: dbus-send --system --dest=org.ganesha.nfsd /org/ganesha/nfsd/admin org.ganesha.nfsd.admin.grace string:5:${VIP} If the shared storage recovery bit is OK, is there anything I need to add to the nfs-ganesha config to make this work? And, does that dbus command look OK? I'm running nfs-ganesha version 2.7.1 packaged in Debian Buster. I have 2X working nfs-ganesha single node setups using gluster FSAL that I hope to turn into an nfs cluster.
