Per the FreeBSD handbook, I have to follow the rule that for a specific host I have to export everything the same for a particular filesystem. So let's say I have one filesystem, /. So I can't have: /export1 -ro server1 server2 /export2 server1 Instead, I need: /export1 \ /export2 \ server1 Is there a way around this? I have found that it works best for us to have a /exports, where we dump things like /exports/www, /exports/mail, and so on, rather than having filesystems for each of those. This is important since FreeBSD has a limitation on the number of possible slices, and we are running with one big RAID-1 storage system. Also, I found that this generates errors (by mountd -r): /export1 -maproot=nobody \ /export2 -maproot=root \ server1 While this works: /export1 \ /export2 \ -maproot=root \ server1 That's no good. Is there a solution to this problem? By the way, I have found that FreeBSD is a solid NFS server. Other than this limitation NFS has worked great.
