Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hello, I am having a bit of trouble with /etc/exports and mountd. I tried searching for this subject in the mailing list archives, but I have yet to find the solution to this problem (I have seen similar/same problems, but no solution), so I apologize if this has already been answered. Right now, FreeBSD (2.2.6R) is installed on one big root filesystem, instead of different filesystems such as /, /usr, /var, and such. I'm not sure if this may be causing problems. Also, this (FreeBSD) machine that I'm having trouble with is 'ariel' (192.168.1.2), if this helps any. My /etc/exports looks like this: /usr/local -alldirs 192.168.1.1 /usr/src -alldirs 192.168.1.1 /u -alldirs 192.168.1.1 I have tried the above with tabs and spaces, both giving same errors. Errors: May 21 00:50:57 ariel mountd[1921]: Could not remount /usr/local: Invalid argument May 21 00:50:57 ariel mountd[1921]: Bad exports list line /usr/local -alldirs 192.168.1.1 May 21 00:50:57 ariel mountd[1921]: Could not remount /usr/src: Invalid argument May 21 00:50:57 ariel mountd[1921]: Bad exports list line /usr/src -alldirs 192.168.1.1 May 21 00:50:57 ariel mountd[1921]: Could not remount /u: Invalid argument May 21 00:50:57 ariel mountd[1921]: Bad exports list line /u -alldirs 192.168.1.1 All of the directories exist and have subdirectories. It is mounted with the 'async' option (as well as 'rw') in /etc/fstab, but I do not think this would matter. Also, I tried the same /etc/exports file, but without -alldirs, and I get the following errors: May 21 00:56:06 ariel mountd[2061]: Can't change attributes for /usr/src. May 21 00:56:06 ariel mountd[2061]: Bad exports list line /usr/src 192.168.1.1 May 21 00:56:06 ariel mountd[2061]: Can't change attributes for /u. May 21 00:56:06 ariel mountd[2061]: Bad exports list line /u 192.168.1.1 For some reason, the first line always works, but 2nd and down does not. For example, if I put the /usr/src line as the first line, and the /usr/local as the second line, it would accept the /usr/src line, yet not the /usr/local line.
