In my old environment I have simple nfs-ganesha export like this, which is sufficent and mounts. EXPORT { Export_Id = 200; Path = /backup; Pseudo = /backup; FSAL { Name = CEPH; Filesystem = "xxxx"; User_Id = "cephfs.xxxx.bakup"; Secret_Access_Key = "xxxxx=="; } Disable_ACL = FALSE; CLIENT { Clients = 192.168.11.200; access_type = "RW"; } CLIENT { Clients = *; Access_Type = NONE; } } In the new ganesha 5 I am getting these errors. Don't really get why it wants to create a pool rados_kv_connect :CLIENT ID :EVENT :Failed to create pool: -34 rados_ng_init :CLIENT ID :EVENT :Failed to connect to cluster: -34 main :NFS STARTUP :CRIT :Recovery backend initialization failed! cephfs kernel mount with this userid is ok. User only has access to this dir. Anyone an idea what config I need to update?
