In reading man exports, it seems that the 'mountpoint=' option would be of use to me exporting mounts from an external HDD on my NFS server. I am finding that despite the fact that the export I defined is not a mountpoint, it is still exported. My distro is Arch Linux running the distro provided nfs-utils-2.1.1-4. Perhaps I do not have the syntax correct or one of the other options I am defining is overriding? Example: % cat /etc/exports /srv/nfs 10.1.10.0/24(ro,fsid=root,no_subtree_check) /srv/nfs/ATV4 10.1.10.0/24(ro,no_subtree_check,insecure,mountpoint=/srv/nfs/ATV4) I have /srv/nfs/ATV4 bind mounted to the actual /mnt/nas/ATV4 on the external media. On my filesystem, /srv/nfs/ATV4 is literally an empty directory: % mountpoint /srv/nfs/ATV4 /srv/nfs/ATV4 is not a mountpoint % showmounts -e Export list for test: /srv/nfs 10.1.10.0/24 /srv/nfs/ATV4 10.1.10.0/24 -- 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
