It seems the export creation was not successful. Please share the ganesha config file.

The configuration is basically the same than the template from [1]

'ceph nfs' interface does both cluster deployment and cephfs export creation. See https://docs.ceph.com/docs/master/cephfs/fs-nfs-exports

Does that mean the cephadm documentation is wrong about ganesha deployment ? [2]

Also the documentation you mentioned is referring cephfs which means it requires mds daemons deployed. Does that mean ganesha support via cephadm is missing this part ? Because there's no mds daemons deployed when adding the ganesha service to the cluster.

The export block is missing and it is expected with cephadm ganesha deployment. See my comments below.

Here deployment does not mean it will create export too. It just deploys the ganesha daemon with minimal configuration. I think we need to clarify about it in the document.

No, it is not missing as we expect cephadm to just deploy ganesha daemons with minimal configuration. The 'ceph nfs export' interface is intended to manage rgw and cephfs exports. Currently only cephfs export is supported and mds daemons need to be deployed separately.
