Just did it, https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1229601

Ah, OK, you’re right, I have added it to my puppet modules (we install and configure ganesha via puppet, I’ll put the module on puppetforge soon, in case anyone is interested).

OK:
# gluster vol set atlas-home-01 ganesha.enable off
volume set: failed: ganesha.enable is already 'off'.
# gluster vol set atlas-data-01 ganesha.enable off
volume set: failed: ganesha.enable is already 'off'.
> 'gluster ganesha disable' command.
I’m assuming you wanted to write nfs-ganesha instead?
# gluster nfs-ganesha disable
ganesha enable : success
A side note (not really important): it’s strange that when I do a disable the message is “ganesha enable” :-)

this file is not present at all, I think it’s not needed in CentOS 7

it’s still there, but empty, and I guess it should be OK, right?

no more files there

it’s empty

nope, it’s still running, I will stop it.

In the node where I issued the nfs-ganesha disable there is no more any /etc/corosync/corosync.conf so corosync won’t start. The other node instead still has the file, it’s strange.

This time (repeated twice) it did not work at all:

I tried then "pcs cluster destroy" on both nodes, and then again nfs-ganesha enable, but now I’m back to the old problem:
