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]"

Even the older UFS write access is marked "dangerous". So I'm not keen on using it.

Hmmm - looks like no-one has good news for me on this front so I'll try a different approach: Can anyone suggest a UNIX filesystem for a removable IDE disc that can be used on linux and freebsd and that can be exported by NFS?
