Dear List,

I’m currently working on a self service portal for managing NFS exports of ISS. 
Basically something very similar to OpenStack Manila but tailored to our 
specific needs.
While it was very easy to do this using the great REST API of ISS, I stumbled 
across a fact that may be even a show stopper: According to the documentation 
for mmnfs, each time we
create/change/delete a NFS export via mmnfs, ganesha service is restarted on 
all nodes.

I assume that this behaviour may cause problems (at least IO stalls) on clients 
mounted the filesystem. So my question is, what is your experience with CES NFS 
export management.
Do you see any problems when you add/change/delete exports and ganesha gets 
restarted?

Are there any (supported) workarounds for this problem?

PS: As I think in 2017 CES Exports should be manageable without service 
disruptions (and ganesha provides facilities to do so), I filed an RFE for 
this:

Many thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
Stephan Peinkofer
