When I installed Xubuntu 13.10 on the brand new laptop (only a couple weeks ago) I made a separate partition for ~/. I did the same thing when I installed Xubuntu 12.04 on the desktop several months ago. When either computer is rebooted the boot process automatically mounts ~/ because it has to, else it wouldn't be able to find all the configuration files. However, Movies is an external USB drive on the laptop that I must mount manually after booting the laptop. I could do it from the command line, but it's far easier to use the Xfce panel widget "Places." I just click on Places, it displays Movies in gray, I select Movies and a popup appears offering to just mount it or mount and open it (I.e., open a Thunar browser window. I always select just mount, after which it goes from gray to black in the GUI and I can browse it. I don't know what process Xubuntu uses to mount it; ultimately I suppose there is a mount command hidden under the GUI. And since it is a USB drive Ubuntu mounts it in /media/<username>/ by default. I suppose I could add a line to fstab on the laptop so it would mount Movies automatically, but then there would be at least an error message if I ever boot the laptop away from home without the drive physically connected to the laptop. So when I try to mount Movies on the desktop via nfs I am actually trying to mount a mount. Could that be the source of the problem? As for the syntax in /etc/exports, I can't see anything wrong with it. When just a bit ago I added ~/ to the exports file I did so by copying the existing Movies line, then backspacing over the mount point until it read just /home/jjj. And I failed to copy the line completely the first time - left off a final parenthesis - and got an error message when I went to exportfs -a. I don't know how rigorously exportfs checks the syntax of the share lines, but it must do at least some checking. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
