Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
nfs-ganesha-2.2.0-9.el7rhgs.x86_64
glusterfs-3.7.4-2.el7.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Actual results:
as mentioned above

Expected results:

Additional info:

Right now ganesha does not DUMP call (to fetch the mount list).

Comment 2 Frank Filz 2015-10-09 23:20:08 UTC

Ganesha does not maintain this information and there is no intention of maintaining the information. It was never correct anyway. If the server restarts, the information is lost, yet the clients are still mounted. Similarly, clients can unmount without ever notifying the server.
