Well damn. What's the point of opening the device on an NFS mount if it must
reside on a local disk ? I was hoping to be able to do things like use the
sound card or modem on another machine.
Maybe I phrased the question poorly. I know I can't nfs mount a remote /dev but
if I created a /nfs/exportstuff directory and made symlinks to the devices I
wanted to share, and then machine B nfs mounted /nfs/exportstuff on /dev/remdevs
could machine B play a wav on /dev/remdevs/audio ?
I could and probably will do the experiment, unless someone can tell me easily
that I can't get there from here.
