[gpfsug-discuss] CES Ganesha netgroup caching?

[Dietrich, Stefan]

Hi,

I am currently playing around with LDAP netgroups for NFS exports via CES.
However, I could not figure out how long Ganesha is caching the netgroup entries?

There is definitely some caching, as adding a host to the netgroup does not immediately grant access to the share.
A "getent netgroup <netgroup>" on the CES node returns the correct result, so this is not some other caching effect.

Resetting the cache via "ganesha_mgr purge netgroup" works, but is probably not officially supported.

The CES nodes are running with GPFS 5.0.2.3 and gpfs.nfs-ganesha-2.5.3-ibm030.01.el7.
CES authentication is set to user-defined, the nodes just use SSSD with a rfc2307bis LDAP server.

Regards,
Stefan
