You mean /etc/exports right?

NFS exports file systems, not directories.

If you put each of your mount points in
/etc/exports it should work.

nfs exporting mounted iso files ?

2005-12-13 Thread Bill Schoolcraft
Hello Family,

I have been trying to export four mounted iso images under /mnt on my
FreeBSD-5.4 box via nfs and I can export everything under /mnt but the
iso's don't show up on the client, only the directories.

First I mounted all the iso's with the following series of
commands.

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file1.iso -u 1
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md1 /mnt/loop1

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file1.iso -u 2
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md2 /mnt/loop2

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file3.iso -u 3
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md3 /mnt/loop3

mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file4.iso -u 4
mount -t cd9660 /dev/md4 /mnt/loop4

#
ere is my /etc/exportfs on the FreeBSD-5.4 server

/mnt-maproot=0  -network 192.168.1.0 -mask 255.255.255.0

#

Here are the mounted iso's via the mount command on the server.

/dev/md1 on /mnt/loop1 (cd9660, local, read-only)
/dev/md2 on /mnt/loop2 (cd9660, local, read-only)
/dev/md3 on /mnt/loop3 (cd9660, local, read-only)
/dev/md4 on /mnt/loop4 (cd9660, local, read-only)

#

On the other Unix client box I can mount the exported /mnt and see
all the
/mnt/loop* but no contents.

On the other Unix client box I can also mount /mnt/loop1 and still
not see any contents under /mnt/loop1

On the server the directories are full of contents under

/mnt/loop1
/mnt/loop2
/mnt/loop3
/mnt/loop4

I'm thinking that I can nfs export iso filesystems on other
flavors of Unix like systems but not on FreeBSD.

Am I missing anything obvious or...?

TIA
