Hello, I am migrating my server from Slackware Linux to FreeBSD (decided to try). Unfortunately, I chose to install 3.1-RELEASE (now I see that 2.2.8 might be better). I have couple of questions related to NFS server. 1) I can't export directories which are not local mount point. E.g., I have disk mounted on /vol1 and want to export only /vol1/ftp . Is this possible (if I try to export /vol1/ftp/.1, mountd complains about wrong mount point)? Even worse, I need to export /var/spool for pcnsfd printing, but don't want to export entire /var. In my case, /var is on separate partition. 2) NFS mount does not seem to go through local filesystems. E.g., I have another disk mounted on /vol1/ftp/.1 and want export of /vol1/ftp to transparently "bleed" through to /vol1/ftp/.1 ? 2) On Linux, I was able to re-export NFS-mounted directories. E.g., in the above example I mount via NFS /vol1/ftp/pub/zeus from zeus:/sai2 and want it to be seen via NFS export (/vol1) as well. Is this possible? I thought it might be possible to get it if I bypass kernel NFSD and install different NFS server, but mountd coredumps if I disable NFS in kernel on 3.1-RELEASE... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr. Sergey Ayukov Sternberg Astronomical Institute http://www.ayukov.com Moscow, Russia http://crydee.sai.msu.ru/index-asv.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
