Hi,

I've a questions about exporting rules. There is a statement at
the end of exports man:

     The export options are tied to the local mount points in the kernel
and
     must be non-contradictory for any exported subdirectory of the
local
     server mount point.  It is recommended that all exported
directories
     within the same server filesystem be specified on adjacent lines
going
     down the tree.

I have only one filesystem (/) and want to export two directories
like this:

/tftpboot/rootfs/diskless -maproot=0:0 diskless
/usr   -ro diskless

So both these directories 'are tied to the
local mount point' (/) and I can't export them with different export
attributes ? But then why these goes ?

/var/spool client1
/var/log   client2

Looks like both dirs tired to /var and have different attributes.
Could someone elaborate on this ?

Thanks a lot.

P.S. And by the way (concerning diskless workstation) is it REALLY
possible
to have swap on NFS. We tried to do this on many machines but after some
swap usage client crashes. Seems that server caches swap file till some
point
and when it comes to real write on disk it can't do this (swap file
doesn't
grow).
