What NFS version are you using? V4? if so, have a look at the nfs4 requirement to export the parent of you exports wih fsid=1 Does that make sense? Clear as mud? Anyway, it looks like we have our workaround. mark wish nfs could handle an option of inode64 I have no experience with the combination of xfs and nfs, but it seems to be possible, see: http://xfs.org/index.php/XFS_FAQ#Q:_Why_doesn.27t_NFS-exporting_subdirectories_of_inode64-mounted_filesystem_work.3F Louis ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
