How To Set Up NFS Ganesha

This guide covers the steps to set up NFS Ganesha. You can use NFS Ganesha instead of the kernel NFS server.

Steps

Install the following RPMs
jemalloc-3.6.0-1.el7.x86_64.rpm
nfs-ganesha-2.2.0-0.fc20.x86_64.rpm
nfs-ganesha-vfs-2.2.0-0.fc20.x86_64.rpm
In /etc/ganesha/ganesha.conf, change Path and Pseudo from nonexistent to <your objectivefs directory>

For more options, see config options

To start:
# systemctl start nfs-ganesha
To verify that the export works:
# showmount -e localhost
To mount:
# mount.nfs -o <options> <ip addr>:<source directory> <target directory>

Example: For NFS v3 export on localhost (assuming /ofs is exported and /nfs is an empty target directory):

# mount.nfs -o vers=3 127.0.0.1:/ofs /nfs
