Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Morning ... I'm having trouble setting up a diskless system here. The /tftpboot/cfg.x.x.x.x gets read with no problem, but then the client aborts with this message: Unable to mount SWAP filesystem: Permission denied Here is my /etc/exports file: /usr/swapfs /usr/rootfs/pc -maproot=root:wheel pc.ctech.ac.za Here are the permissions of my swap fs: drwx------ 2 root wheel 512 Nov 25 10:38 swapfs ... and under swapfs/ -rw------- 1 root wheel 2048000 Nov 25 10:38 swap.155.238.17.2 According to the archives, these permissions are fine. Can anyone give me a pointer to where I'm screwing up, please. I've played around with different chmod settings, but the error message stays the same.
