I got the idea to mount an NFS-exported filesystem to the localhost via loopback, but I couldn't get mountd to recognize any combination of /etc/exports that contains "aries" or "localhost" (aries is the name of my machine). I would get errors like this: Aug 23 07:25:50 aries mountd[2630]: Gethostbyname failed Aug 23 07:25:50 aries mountd[2630]: Bad exports list line /scratch aries,localhost Aug 23 07:26:55 aries mountd[2631]: Gethostbyname failed Aug 23 07:26:55 aries mountd[2631]: Bad exports list line /scratch -alldirs aries,localhost Aug 23 07:28:17 aries mountd[2631]: Gethostbyname failed Aug 23 07:28:17 aries mountd[2631]: Bad exports list line /scratch -alldirs aries,127.0.0.1 Shouldn't I be able to mount over the loopback interface? > If they are very high, I suggest sending the performance figures to > Networking Computing 8) Most definitely. -- Brian ("Though this be madness, yet there is method in't") Tao taob@gate.sinica.edu.tw <-- work ........ play --> taob@io.org
