Hello,

I’m new to freebsd an read the handbook a lot. Thank you , for this great work. 

Yesterday I setup a nfs server and tried to export /home like it is mentioned in the documentation. 

But after restarting the mountd service. It  reported an error in /etc/exports . I red several other blogs and finally I got it. 

FreeBSD doesn’t allow to export symlinks . You have to export the real path which is /usr/home/ . After changing the entry , everything worked well !

I think the example on Chapter 28.3.1 /home -alldirs 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.4 should be changed, because it is not working anymore.

Please correct me if I’m wrong.


regards, 

Sebastian Schaack
