Do you mean you are using pacemaker+corosync to manage services other 
than nfs-ganesha and you loose those resources when ganesha.sh 
add/delete operation is performed? Could you please provide details 
about those resources affected?

Its perfectly acceptable. Ganesha cluster is a subset of Gluster trusted 
storage pool. So you can increase the capacity of gluster volume without 
the need to alter the nfs-ganesha cluster.

I am not sure if any one has tried out that. We strongly recommend to 
use the ganesha.sh script as there could be additions/fixes which went 
in that script w.r.t cluster configuration. You may have to double-check 
the resources and constraints every time you try to configure them 
manually. Do you see any difference between using the script and the 
manual configuration?

Thanks,
