Based on the advice of some people on this list I have started testing Ganesha-NFS in combination with Ceph. First results are very good and the product looks promising. When I want to use this I need to create a setup where different systems can mount different parts of the tree. How do I configure this? Do I just need to create different sets of exports, all with the specific tree they export and the correct access rights? I read somewhere that you can have a distributed lock manager. Does this mean that I could create a cluster of multiple NFS servers that all share the same CephFS filesystem and that I can spread the client load?
