On Fri, 5 Jan 2007 08:01:46 +0100 Hi Paul Don't let OS generate filesystem handles from major/minor numbers. Have a look at fsid option for exportfs (man 5 exports). It works. It's how I implemented it on my failover NFS clusters. BTW, persistent minors works as well, I found fsid easier to manage, though. Hope it helps.
