Description RainerW 2016-05-02 15:56:00 UTC 
Description of problem:

ganesha not starting with VFS on CentOS 6.5


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

LSB Version:    :base-4.0-amd64:base-4.0-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch:graphics-4.0-amd64:graphics-4.0-noarch:printing-4.0-amd64:printing-4.0-noarch
Distributor ID: CentOS
Description:    CentOS release 6.5 (Final)
Release:        6.5
Codename:       Final

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:

 - Install on CentOS 6.5 with repo location : http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.7/LATEST/CentOS/epel-$releasever/$basearch/
 - change path in default config and create /export folder
 - start ganesha
 -> error in log

Actual results:

02/05/2016 17:50:08 : epoch 57277730 : b54-infra-demo1 : ganesha.nfsd-8257[main] vfs_lookup_path :FSAL :CRIT :Could not get handle for path /export, error Function not implemented
02/05/2016 17:50:08 : epoch 57277730 : b54-infra-demo1 : ganesha.nfsd-8257[main] posix2fsal_error :FSAL :CRIT :Mapping 38(default) to ERR_FSAL_SERVERFAULT
02/05/2016 17:50:08 : epoch 57277730 : b54-infra-demo1 : ganesha.nfsd-8257[main] init_export_root :EXPORT :CRIT :Lookup failed on path, ExportId=77 Path=/export FSAL_ERROR=(Undefined server error,38)


Expected results:

Directory should be exported

Comment 1 Frank Filz 2016-05-02 22:08:58 UTC 
Are you trying to use Ganesha with Gluster or with a local file system? The only local filesystem support in CentOS 6.x is XFS via FSAL_XFS. FSAL_VFS requires a newer kernel than CentOS 6.x provides.
Comment 2 RainerW 2016-05-04 11:07:23 UTC 
Ok ... very descriptive error, yes the /export folder was on ext4. Now i'm trying directly a GLUSTER FSAL. (Which is not working but offtopic to this bug)
