X-BeenThere: freebsd-chat@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: Non technical items related to the community List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Mon, 03 Dec 2007 17:13:18 -0000 The handbook at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/network-nfs.html shows exporting /cdrom. The exports(5) man page seems to indicate a similar exports(5) entry will fail since /cdom is not mounted. And if the -alldirs option is not used it would just export the empty /cdrom directory (empty because not mounted). So should the handbook say that /cdrom should be mounted first? (Usually /cdrom mounted point is listed in /etc/fstab with "noauto".)
