The case where we watched the log file is very very specific and nothing that could not be solved otherwise. My main point was that we sometimes ran into "could not mount blabla" on the client, and then the server often gave a more detailed messages pointing us to the error. E.g. in NFSv4 we made a mistake by exporting our /nfsv4/ root, bind-mounted /nfsv4/x/ and exported onlt /nfsv4/ and /nfsv4/x/y to some client. Without any helpful error messages it took us some time to figure out that we had to export the whole bind-mount /nfsv4/x to the client or make another bindmount only for the /x/y/ subdir. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
