Oh, wait, I see the problem: it doesn't work well if you're exporting subdirectories and not full filesystems. Unless you do something special at the export points (e.g. mount --bind them over themselves), knfsd doesn't know when you've crossed an export point. --b. > > Thanks > Ming > > -----Original Message----- > From: J.

Just export the directories you want to without using fsid=0 or bind mounts, just as you would with NFSv2/v3.
