[Moosefs-users] Export mfs filesystem via NFS

[Matthias T. <mat...@mt...>]

Moin,

I need to export some directories from my Moose cluster via NFS. So
I imported the directories via mfsmount on a linux system (2.6.33)
and exported it from there via NFS. However the export is not
stable. Occasionally requests are terminated with "Stale NFS file
handle". After a remount the access is again possible.

There is a Userland NFS Server, NFS-Ganesha [1], which was designed
for the export of FUSE file systems. NFS-Ganesha wraps the high level
functions of fuse.h. My problem is, that mfsmount only uses the low
functions from fuse_lowlevel.h and I'm not sure how difficult it is to
integrate NFS-Ganesha.

What is the best way to export directories from MooseFS via NFS? Has
someone used NFS Ganesha with MooseFS?

Many thanks
Matthias
