Bug 1820523

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1601950 +++

== Description of problem:
exportfs fails to 'monitor' exports path that contains symlinks.

== Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
resource-agents-3.9.5-124.el7.x86_64 (RHEL 7.5)
nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.54.el7.x86_64 (RHEL 7.5)

== How reproducible:
Always

== Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create path for export
  # mkdir -p /exports/test
2. Create symlink for the exported path
  # ln -s /exports/test /exports/something
3. Create group with 'nfsserver' resource
  # pcs resource create nfs-server nfsserver --group nfsgroup
4. Add 'exportfs' cluster resource that will export the path defined by symlink (/exports/something) to this group
  # pcs resource create nfsexport_something exportfs clientspec="*" directory=/exports/something fsid=1 --group nfsgroup

== Actual results:
nfsexport_something 'start' succeeds. First 'monitor' of nfsexport_something fails. Resource is restarted and fails in same way repeatedly.

# exportfs
/exports/test   <world>

== Expected results:
nfsexport_something is properly started and works.

== Current workaround:
Don't use path containing symlinks for 'directory' attribute of 'exportfs' resource agent.

== Additional info:
The issue seems to be that 'exportfs' resource agent relies on the output from 'exportfs' command
that resolves all paths containing symlinks to paths without symlinks and that is provided in output of 'exportfs'.
Note: the resolved path is provided only in the 'exportfs' command when asking which paths are exported. During the
"add of the export path" the same verbatim path provided as parameter is used so we can't tell if the path got changed
during the add of the exported path.

Attached to this BZ is path with proposed fix for the 'exportfs' resource agent from resource-agents-3.9.5-124.el7.x86_64 package
that uses 'readlink' to resolve the path provided to resource agent into path that is then shown by the 'exportfs' command.

Note that this patch will not work with upstream version of 'exportfs' resource agent which has ability to export multiple
directories specified in the 'directory' attribute separated by space. Most probably the check could be implemented there
in 'forall' function where 'directory' attribute is being enumerated and it executes operations on one directory only.
