I am trying to export a directory tree to a diskless OpenBSD box from a FreeBSD 2.2.6-stable box, and I am having difficulties with mountd. I need to be able to export a swap file for OBSD, and after reading the man page for mountd(8) and exports(5), and have added this line to my /etc/exports. /usr/export/rowe -alldirs rowe.wolfnet.org When I 'kill -HUP' mountd, it syslogs the following error messages. Jul 4 17:05:49 outreach mountd[124]: Could not remount /usr/export/rowe: Invalid argument Jul 4 17:05:49 outreach mountd[124]: Bad exports list line /usr/export/rowe -alldirs rowe If I remove the -alldirs flag, mountd does not complain about the line. I've searched through the mailing list for things to try, and there weren't any answers. /usr/export/rowe does have files and directories in it, so it isn't a matter of there being nothing in the directory. Any help is appriciated. Also, please CC responses to me, as I am not on the questions list. -- Jason K.
