Path (and/or Pseudo) are what the NFS clients will use to mount the volume.

And I believe you should have a leading '/'.

E.g. if your ganesha.conf file is:

  ...
  Path = /thisismyexportedvolume;
  Pseudo = /thisismyexportedvolume;
  ...

(don't use quotes)

then NFS clients will mount this volume with `mount -t nfs
mynfsserver:/thisismyexportedvolume /mnt`

If the gluster volume is named "myglustervolume" then your ganesha.conf
FSAL block (in the EXPORT block) will look like this:

   ...
   FSAL {
      Name = GLUSTER;
      Hostname = myglusterserver;
      Volume = myglustervolume;
   }
   ...

(if the gluster server is the same machine as the ganesha server then
'Hostname = localhost' works)
