Anyway you're welcome I've run into the same problem myself, FreeBSD won't let you export two directories from the same filesystem unless you do it that way. -- --- Beech Rintoul - FreeBSD Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] /"\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign | FreeBSD Since 4.x \ / - NO HTML/RTF in e-mail | http://www.freebsd.org X - NO Word docs in e-mail | Latest Release: / \ - http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.2R/announce.html --- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

is this possible? (let user able to access two moint points, one beneath another)
Dear all I wish to export two directories for other people to mount, so I write in my /etc/exports: /var/ftp/pub -ro /var/ftp/pub/music -ro Start NFS server then I found only /var/ftp/music is successfully exported, /var/log/message says: Jul 22 15:34:32 exupery mountd[404]: can't change attributes for /var/ftp/pub/music Jul 22 15:34:32 exupery mountd[404]: bad exports list line /var/ftp/pub/music -ro I cannot understand what is "change attributes" and why it cannot be done, so I go to read handbook. Here is the handbook section about this issue http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/networking.html#EXPORTS-ERRORS 12.13. Why does mountd keep telling me it “can't change attributes” and that I have a “bad exports list” on my FreeBSD NFS server? The most frequent problem is not understanding the correct format of /etc/exports. Please review exports(5) and the NFS entry in the Handbook, especially the section on configuring NFS. And yes, I reviewed both document, and I am sure the format is correct because it's only two similar lines and the first line is accepted by server: /var/ftp/pub -ro /var/ftp/pub/music -ro Give up on this, then I think probably I can use -alldirs. I write my /etc/exports: /var/ftp/pub -alldirs -ro Start NFS server, check /var/log/messages I found: Jul 22 15:30:37 exupery mountd[404]: -alldirs requested but /var/ftp/pub is not a filesystem mountpoint Jul 22 15:30:37 exupery mountd[404]: bad exports list line /var/ftp/pub -alldirs This seems to suggest that I cannot use -alldirs because /var/ftp/pub is a plain directory, only a mount point can use -alldirs (in my case, /var). So I am stuck here. Any suggestion getting me out? Is it possible at all to export a directory and also it's sub-directory?
