I think the confusing thing here is that the man page doesn't clearly explain that: o For a given partition, all subdirectories accessable from a given machine must be specified on the same line. If they're specified on different lines, subsequent lines will fail. o Exportable directories that reside on different partitions *must* appear on different lines in /etc/exports. It took me some time (some of it hastling others) to find out that this is what the man page actually says :-| > -- > cheers, J"org > > joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE > Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) -- Brian <brian@awfulhak.org>, <brian@freebsd.org> <http://www.awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
