We recently were made aware that we weren't working with btrfs subvols, and I added code so that in addition to using getmntent (essentially /proc/mounts) to populate filesystems, we also scan for btrfs subvols and with that we are able to export subvols. My question is does a snapshot look any different than a subvol? If they show up in the subvol list then we shouldn't need to do anything more for nfs-ganesha, but if there's something else needed to discover them, then we may need additional code in nfs-ganesha. I have not yet had a chance to check out exporting a snapshot yet. Thanks Frank Filz
