I want to do the classic export src and obj and then do an installworld over the NFS mount. It fails early on with an "errno 71". The system message for error number 71 is: Too many levels of remote in path Here's the command that fails: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ===> lib/libcom_err cd /usr/src/lib/libcom_err && install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 /usr/src/lib/libcom_err/../../contrib/com_err/com_err.h /usr/include cd /usr/src/lib/libcom_err && install -C -o root -g wheel -m 444 /usr/src/lib/libcom_err/../../contrib/com_err/com_right.h /usr/include install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 libcom_err.a /usr/lib install -c -o root -g wheel -m 444 libcom_err_p.a /usr/lib *** Error code 71 Stop in /usr/src/lib/libcom_err. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= If I cd to "/usr/src/lib/libcom_err" and type either of those first two install commands by hand I get the same failure. Here's the contents of "/etc/exports" on the server: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= # # $ID:$ # NFS exported filesystems # /usr/src -ro -maproot=0:0 eciweb1 /scratch/obj -ro -maproot=0:0 eciweb1 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= The mount commands on the client were: mount -r -t nfs ecibsd1:/usr/scr /usr/src mount -r -t nfs ecibsd1:/scratch/obj /usr/obj So, how does one increase the depth allowed in a remote path? -crl -- Chad R.
