Here is the handbook section about this issue http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/networking.html#EXPORTS-ERRORS 12.13. Why does mountd keep telling me it “can't change attributes” and that I have a “bad exports list” on my FreeBSD NFS server? The most frequent problem is not understanding the correct format of /etc/exports. Please review exports(5) and the NFS entry in the Handbook, especially the section on configuring NFS. And yes, I reviewed both document, and I am sure the format is correct because it's only two similar lines and the first line is accepted by server: /var/ftp/pub -ro /var/ftp/pub/music -ro Give up on this, then I think probably I can use -alldirs. I write my /etc/exports: /var/ftp/pub -alldirs -ro Start NFS server, check /var/log/messages I found: Jul 22 15:30:37 exupery mountd[404]: -alldirs requested but /var/ftp/pub is not a filesystem mountpoint Jul 22 15:30:37 exupery mountd[404]: bad exports list line /var/ftp/pub -alldirs This seems to suggest that I cannot use -alldirs because /var/ftp/pub is a plain directory, only a mount point can use -alldirs (in my case, /var). So I am stuck here. Any suggestion getting me out? Is it possible at all to export a directory and also it's sub-directory?
