Date: Tue, 09 Jan 96 17:11:08 +0000 Message-ID: <15419.821207468@danno> From: David Hedley Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Why does mountd require that only file system mount points can be NFS-exported? It seems to want to change some file system flags to reflect the fact that it is now exportable, but it's a bit of an annoying restriction. Is there some other reason for this behaviour? Thanks for any help... David p.s. What kernel do I need to be able to run the Linux emulation stuff? p.p.s. Why does FreeBSD consume far more swap space than Linux?
