Posted a patch that works at gerritio. It just creats blocks and key value pairs without checking if they constitute a valid ganesha config block. Currently, "export" block takes "pseudo value" and "client block takes "clients-value" as additional arguments. pseudo may not be used in NFSv3 only environments (not sure about 9P).
I am thinking to support "pseudo", "path" or "export_id" as well. So to change an export block that has export id as 16, one would do "ganesha_conf set export export_id 16 --param1 value1 --param2 value2". If one wants to use pseudo instead, it can be done as "ganesha_conf set export pseudo /nfsroot/spath1 value1 --param2 value2" I am thinking of allowing "export_id", "pseudo" and "path" keys for "export" block identification. We only use "clients" for the client block, but to be consistent with the export block, we will have "ganesha_conf export export_id 16 client clients 192.168.1.0 --param1 --value" to change the corresponding "client" block. Any suggestions or issues with this approach? Regards, Malahal.
