Trying to move a NFS share to another NFS server and having a bit
of trouble with it. I moved all the files and and I edited exports.
/etc/exports
/home/install/fbsd -network 192.168.2.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
/home/install/mdk -network 192.168.2.0 -mask 255.255.255.0
Now the 1st one works just fine. I can mount /home/install/fbsd
across my network, but I can't mount the /home/install/mdk. I've
restarted the nfs server several times, but I still can't get that
second share to become available. Am I missing something?
NFS exports filesystems, not directory trees. NFS permits you to mount a
subdirectory of an export/share, but you cannot mount two child directories of
a share if those directories are ancestors of one another on the same filesystem.
Please refer to _Managing NFS and NIS_, O'Reilly, p92:
"2. You cannot export any subdirectory of an exported filesystem unless the
subdirectory is on a different physical device.
3. You cannot export any parent directory of an exported filesystem unless
the parent is on a different physical device."
Some of these restrictions can be mitigated with the -alldirs flag, but look at
"showmount" to see what you are actually exporting.
