I need to export an ext2fs file system mounted at /mnt/guest - it's a removable IDE disc that I carry to & from my linux system at work... "mount" shows: /dev/ad2s1 on /mnt/guest (ext2fs, local) So, I put an entry into /etc/exports: /mnt/guest -alldirs -network 192.168.254.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 and then: kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid` "showmount localhost" shows nothing and in /var/log/messages I have: Oct 27 11:36:01 raita kernel: ext2fs doesn't support the old mount syscall Oct 27 11:36:01 raita mountd[417]: can't export /mnt/guest Oct 27 11:36:01 raita mountd[417]: bad exports list line /mnt/guest -network 192.168.254.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 ... so there's really no way to NFS export an ext2fs file system???
