Hello, Thanks to Dan Nelson I was able to mount my 4 TB drive using ntfs-3g. Now I need to export it over NFS, and it doesn't work. I'm using a bootable ZFS system, if that makes any difference. I don't see why it should. Basically, I can export a directory as long as a ntfs-3g filesystem is not moutned on it. And this is also true for the kernel ntfs system. The second a ntfs or ntfs-3g filesystem is mounted on it, there are problems. Here are more details: create a directory: /var/video, set globally readable and searchable permissions. I create a simple entry in /etc/exports: /var/VIDEO I copy some files in there and HUP mountd. I check to see that I can access the files on the clients. No problem. I go back, delete the files (just to be safe), and then I mount the ntfs-3g drive on /var/VIDEO with ntfs-3g -o ro /dev/da0s1 /var/VIDEO I check to see that I can see the ntfs filesystem in /var/VIDEO with ls (I can), and all the permissions are ok (every file is rwxrwxrwx). Then I HUP mountd. Mountd now tells me that my formerly good line in exports is bad. I can't access the files on the clients. I umount /var/VIDEO. I HUP mountd. All is well once again, on the server and the clients, except I can't access the files on the ntfs drive which I need to do. Anyone have any ideas what is going on here, and even better, how I might get it to work? Thanks! Scott -- sdb@ssr.com
