Hi list, I have upgraded from 2.2.17 kernel to 2.4.16 and found that local mounts (of other hd drives) within the export directory are not visible on the same machine anymore - BUT they are visible from other machines. How can that be? It seems to have to do with the new feature: bind instead of symlinks. Is there a simple way to keep the symlink feature? Thanks for any hints - Marcus
