Red Hat Storage (RHS) - Control Selectively Which Host(s) to Root Squash

Issue

The root squash option (server.root-squash) on a RHS (Gluster) volume works from the traditional sense of causing the "root" user to be a nobody (anonymous) user for NFS operations. The challenge is, this becomes impossible for the Systems Administrator to perform operations as "root", which could be critical in some use-cases.

This feature enhancement would provide the Gluster volumes with an additional option, where you can specify a list of administrative hosts which could bypass root squashing. An alternative approach would be to allow the RHS servers themselves bypass root squashing from the fuse mounts, then you could turn on root squash for standard file access but allow the "root" user to do file operations from the RHS nodes.
