For what it's worth, I believe the Ganesha folks designed a D-BUS
interface to their userland NFS server. It might be worth looking at as
a starting point to configure knfsd as well? Frank, is this the right
reference?:
https://github.com/nfs-ganesha/nfs-ganesha/wiki/Dbusinterface
I'm not very familiar with it so don't necessarily endorse the idea, but
maybe it's worth looking into.
Speaking of which, why bother with knfsd? I suggest we can provide
Ganesha-NFS as a core of NFS role. It has a DBUS API and it seem to
be used in entepris filers.
