So what you are saying then, is that I am right in assuming that FreeBSD cannot export (in your case) anything under /usr, without /usr itself. Sorry if I sound terse, but I do realise that I can list specific dirs under a filesystem to export if I do export the entire filesystem. My issue is that I dont want to export the root of the filesystem (/, in my case) to the remote machine, just to have a directory underneath it exported. (/usr/home, in my case.) I have been hearing around that NFSv3 is the only 'good' NFS, and so far no free Unixen have v3 implemented yet. I guess we will just have to wait.. :/ For the record tho, the SYSV-ish NFSd on Linux can export individual directories however.
