To: questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I was just reading through http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/nfs.html It's a diskless netbsd howto. I was looking at this because there doesn't seem to be a decnt, up-to-date diskless freebsd how with step by step instructions. Anyway, I came across this bit: "FreeBSD FreeBSD doesn't support exporting individual directories. You need to know the mountpoint of the filesystem you will be exporting. This also means that the client will have root read/write priveleges on that whole filesystem. For example, if you only have one filesystem (i.e. /), then you need to export everything to the client. " Is this true under freeBSD 4.1R? If so it's a bit of a limitation isn't it?
