You placed actual data under /nfsexports. I would..... unmount the exported file system from all clients. (umount on box7 for example) Then on the server I'd move /etc/exports to /etc/exports-orig and run "exportfs -r" and confirm by running "exportfs" that they are no longer exported. Also on the server I'd proceed to move all the directories out of /nfsexports to /home cd /nfsexports mv check data Dell DigiCam Documents Download evergreene gramps home lectures /home (Yes, you'll end up with a /home/home. You don't really have any user home's under there to you?) The I'd set up the directory structure under /nfsexports by doing cd /nfsexports mkdir -m 1777 data mkdir -m 1777 home Then, still on the server, I would append these lines to /etc/fstab # bind mounts /home/data /nfs4exports/data none rw,bind 0 0 /home/home /nfs4exports/home none rw,bind 0 0 Then I would mount /nfs4exports/data mount /nfs4exports/home Then, when you issue the just the "mount" command you should see included.... /home/data on /nfs4exports/data type none (rw,bind) /home/home on /nfs4exports/home type none (rw,bind) Or something similar.... Then I'd move /etc/exports-orig back to /etc/exports but I would change /nfs4exports back to ro. And then do "exports -rv". Now..... If you just want all of the exported information to be under a single directory on box7 (client) I would do....on box7 mkdir /mnt/box8 mount 192.168.1.8:/nfsexports /mnt/box8 And, of course, make corresponding changes in the /etc/fstab on box7 -- Programming today is a race between software engineers striving to build bigger and better idiot-proof programs, and the Universe trying to produce bigger and better idiots.
