How do I export more than one volume in glusterfs server, like I give in NFS /etc/exports file.

You may need to export more than one directory, the below volfile example shows how you could do this with two directories, /home/blue/ and /home/red/.

There are potentially two methods out there to achieve this behavior. One is having seperate volfile for each export and use --volume-id option to fetch corresponding file, or to have both volumes defined in a single volfile and use --volume-name option to mount

$ emacs /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol
$ cat /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-server.vol

volume blue
 type storage/posix               
 option directory /home/blue      
end-volume

volume red
 type storage/posix               
 option directory /home/red       
end-volume

volume server
 type protocol/server
 option transport-type tcp/server 
 option client-volume-filename /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol
 option volume-filename.blue-key /etc/glusterfs/blue.vol
 option volume-filename.red-key /etc/glusterfs/red.vol
 subvolumes blue red
 option auth.addr.blue.allow *  
 option auth.addr.red.allow *   
end-volume

$ emacs /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol
$ cat /etc/glusterfs/glusterfs-client.vol

volume blue
 type protocol/client
 option transport-type tcp
 option remote-host 192.168.0.1    # IP address of the remote brick
 option remote-subvolume blue      # name of the remote volume
end-volume

volume red
 type protocol/client
 option transport-type tcp
 option remote-host 192.168.0.1    # IP address of the remote brick
 option remote-subvolume red       # name of the remote volume
end-volume

$ emacs /etc/glusterfs/red.vol
$ cat /etc/glusterfs/red.vol

volume red
 type protocol/client
 option transport-type tcp
 option remote-host 192.168.0.1    # IP address of the remote brick
 option remote-subvolume red       # name of the remote volume
end-volume

$ emacs /etc/glusterfs/blue.vol
$ cat /etc/glusterfs/blue.vol

volume blue
 type protocol/client
 option transport-type tcp
 option remote-host 192.168.0.1    # IP address of the remote brick
 option remote-subvolume blue       # name of the remote volume
end-volume

On a client machine you can now mount a selected volume (red in this case):

bash# glusterfs --volfile-server 192.168.0.1 --volume-name red /mnt/glusterfs_red
or 
bash# glusterfs --volfile-server 192.168.0.1 --volume-id red-key /mnt/glusterfs_red

To mount the blue volume on the same (or another) client machine:

bash# glusterfs --volfile-server 192.168.0.1 --volume-name blue /mnt/glusterfs_blue
or
bash# glusterfs --volfile-server 192.168.0.1 --volume-id blue-key /mnt/glusterfs_blue

the option 'client-volume-filename' works as the default option if --volume-id is not provided in command line.

if --volume-name argument is not given in command line, glusterfs will take the last volume as the default volume.
