Hi, This may be an early report, since I haven't toroughtfully tested it yet, and I'm not sure if this is abnormal or not. I haven't found any source allowing me to think it might be normal. I have observed that if I mount my root filesystem on a second mounting point, and try to share it with nfs-kernel-server, mounting if on a client will only show me directories shared womewhere else . let's say my root is /dev/sda1, then I do myserver> mkdir /media/rootbis myserver> mount /dev/sda1 /media/rootbis and I configure /etc/exports : /usr myclient(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) /home myclient(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) /media/rootbis myclient(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check) and activate it myserver> exportfs -ra then mount it on the client myclient> mount -t nfs myserver:/media/rootbis mymountpoint and examine the content of the share, I only see the directorie which were otherwise shared myclient> ls -l mymountpoint usr home media I needed to share explicitely my root to be able to see my whole rootbis share. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
