Hi, The mountd program in FreeBSD previously had some hard-coded restrictions on which filesystems it could export (ufs, msdosfs, cd9660, and ntfs). I converted the mountd program to use the nmount() syscall, and removed the hardcoded restrictions on what filesystems can be NFS exported. As long as the underlying filesystem supports NFS exporting, it should work. It should now work for ext2fs. If you cvsup to RELENG_6 or HEAD, you can get my changes, and if you can try them out and let me know if you have any problems, I would appreciate it. -- Craig Rodrigues [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I thought most linux systems could mount 'ufs' file systems; perhaps not 'ufs2' so you might need to be specific in creating the file system. Malcolm Kay Yes - but linux is READ-ONLY for UFS2. Even the older UFS write access is marked dangerous. So I'm not keen on using it.

ext2fs and NFS
Hello, Google and the search screen at www.FreeBSD.org tell me that this question has been asked before but I can't find an answer ...
