On NFS server (NFS3 only): $ cat /etc/exports /var/log 192.168.1.0/24(ro,no_root_squash,no_wdelay,subtree_check,async) $ ls -ld /var/log/apache2 drwxr-xr-x 2 apache apache 90112 Nov 11 03:11 /var/log/apache2 You see that on the server we export /var/log and we do have a subdirectory called apache2. On NFS client (NFS3 mounting): # mount -o nfsserv=3 peggy:/var/log/apache2 /media mount.nfs: an incorrect mount option was specified You see that it fails. I could add the subdirectory to the nfs exports on the server, then I could just mount the subdirectory. I don't think this is a glusterfs issue. I do suggest you do use the workaround. It could be possible you can modify the exports on the glusterfs, have to say I haven't been using NFS on glusterfs more than once for a short testing. >> A work around would be to mount the whole share to a >> location on the client which isn't accessible for all users >> and then bind the directory you wanted to mount to the >> location where you wanted. >> >> Example for fstab: >> 192.168.0.1:/share /protected/share nfs >> noauto,nfsvers=3,rw,bg,hard,intr,async 0 0 >> >> /protected/share /reallocation none bind 0 0 >> >> >> >> -- Janne Aho (Developer) | City Network Hosting AB - >> www.citynetwork.se >> Phone: +46 455 690022 | Cell: +46 733 312775 >> EMail/MSN: janne at citynetwork.se >> ICQ: 567311547 | Skype: janne_mz | AIM: janne4cn | Gadu: >> 16275665 >> > > > > _______________________________________________ > Gluster-users mailing list > Gluster-users at gluster.org > http://gluster.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gluster-users > -- Janne Aho (Developer) | City Network Hosting AB - www.citynetwork.se Phone: +46 455 690022 | Cell: +46 733 312775 EMail/MSN: janne at citynetwork.se ICQ: 567311547 | Skype: janne_mz | AIM: janne4cn | Gadu: 16275665
