Hello,

Google and the search screen at www.FreeBSD.org tell me that this
question has been asked before but I can't find an answer ...

I need to export an ext2fs file system mounted at /mnt/guest - it's a
removable IDE disc that I carry to & from my linux system at work...

"mount" shows:

/dev/ad2s1 on /mnt/guest (ext2fs, local)

So, I put an entry into /etc/exports:

/mnt/guest -alldirs -network 192.168.254.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

and then:

kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid`

"showmount localhost" shows nothing and in /var/log/messages I have:

Oct 27 11:36:01 raita kernel: ext2fs doesn't support the old mount syscall
Oct 27 11:36:01 raita mountd[417]: can't export /mnt/guest
Oct 27 11:36:01 raita mountd[417]: bad exports list line /mnt/guest -network 192.168.254.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

... so there's really no way to NFS export an ext2fs file system???


Yow!




Thanks


Bob
