Exporting and Unexporting Volumes through NFS-Ganesha Subsection: --> Verifying the Status --> Check if the volume is exported. Describe the issue: showmount is not listing exported volume if protocols version is set only to 4 in volume export file. Suggestions for improvement: It would be good if we have a note saying, showmount will not list the exported volume if the user has set the protocol version to (Protocols = "4" ;) in volume export file. In that case to list the exported volume, the following command should be used. dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --system --dest=org.ganesha.nfsd /org/ganesha/nfsd/ExportMgr org.ganesha.nfsd.exportmgr.ShowExports Additional information: root@dhcp46-42 ~]# cat /run/gluster/shared_storage/nfs-ganesha/exports/export.vol2.conf # WARNING : Using Gluster CLI will overwrite manual # changes made to this file. To avoid it, edit the # file and run ganesha-ha.sh --refresh-config. EXPORT{ Export_Id = 2; Path = "/vol2"; FSAL { name = GLUSTER; hostname="localhost"; volume="vol2"; } Access_type = RW; Disable_ACL = true; Squash="No_root_squash"; Pseudo="/vol2"; Protocols = "4" ; Transports = "UDP","TCP"; SecType = "sys"; } [root@dhcp46-42 ~]# showmount -e localhost Export list for localhost: [root@dhcp46-42 ~]# dbus-send --type=method_call --print-reply --system --dest=org.ganesha.nfsd /org/ganesha/nfsd/ExportMgr org.ganesha.nfsd.exportmgr.ShowExports method return sender=:1.236 -> dest=:1.252 reply_serial=2 struct { uint64 1481120920 uint64 151203001 } array [ struct { uint16 0 string "/" boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false struct { uint64 1481105915 uint64 307991952 } } struct { uint16 2 string "/vol2" boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false boolean false struct { uint64 1481105915 uint64 307991952 } } ] [root@dhcp46-42 ~]#
showmount only works with nfsv3, as the mount protocol isn't part of nfsv4. NFSv4, instead, uses a pseudo root, so viewing the exports is done with a readdir on the pseudoroot. If Ganesha is configured to have an export as only v3 or as both v3 and v4, it will show up in showmount; Otherwise, if it's configured as only v4, it will not show up.
Yep, what Daniel said...
In following Doc: https://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/site/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Gluster_Storage/3.1/html/Administration_Guide/sect-NFS.html#sect-NFS_Ganesha Section: Verifying the Status
Should have commented with that... Since the export is NFSv4 only, it can not be expected to show up in the NFS v3 SHOWMOUNT.
