Hello Ruslan, Issues HDFS-5469 and HDFS-6056 implemented the nfs.export.point configuration property to control the export.
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-5469 https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-6056 Does this look like what you need? I don't see the property in our documentation. If you can confirm that this is what you were looking for, then I'll enter a follow-up jira to make sure this information gets into our documentation. I hope this helps. --Chris Nauroth From: Ruslan Dautkhanov <dautkha...@gmail.com<mailto:dautkha...@gmail.com>> Reply-To: "u...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:u...@hadoop.apache.org>" <u...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:u...@hadoop.apache.org>> Date: Monday, June 1, 2015 at 3:39 PM To: "u...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:u...@hadoop.apache.org>" <u...@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:u...@hadoop.apache.org>>, "hdfs-dev@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:hdfs-dev@hadoop.apache.org>" <hdfs-dev@hadoop.apache.org<mailto:hdfs-dev@hadoop.apache.org>> Subject: HDFS NFS gateway - export only a specific directory Hello, HDFS NFS Gateway by default exports / (root, whole HDFS) Could not find a way to export just a subdirectory within HDFS. Looked at https://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.6.0/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-hdfs/HdfsNfsGateway.html and at http://www.cloudera.com/content/cloudera/en/documentation/core/latest/topics/admin_hdfs_nfsgateway.html $ showmount -e <nfs_server_ip_address> You should see output similar to the following: Exports list on <nfs_server_ip_address>: / (everyone) Any ideas if this is possible to export through NFS gwateway a specific HDFS directory?
