Hello, it's not clear to me how I can allow different access to different machines in NFSv4. Because nfsv4 needs a root export with fsid=0, and all other mounts should be below that. However, if the line with fsid=0 is not mountable to all nodes, also the mounts below it will fail. And if the line with fsid=0 is mountable to all nodes, all further lines can provide no additional security! Example; this is my current export: /virtual_machines/kvm/export 10.48.0.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,async,subtree_check,fsid=0) /virtual_machines/kvm/export/hwnode1 10.48.0.10(rw,no_root_squash,async,subtree_check) /virtual_machines/kvm/export/hwnode2 10.48.0.11(rw,no_root_squash,async,subtree_check) I have two hardware nodes for virtual machines. Ideally each one of them should be able to mount only its subdirectory, but the export shown above is the only working one I could create. However with the above export file the root user on hwnode1 can directly mount /virtual_machines/kvm/export and see everything, even the files that were for hwnode2 only. OTOH if I set my fsid=0 line so that it's not mountable (e.g. changing the IP or netmask), all lines below it stop working. How should I do?
