Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi everyone, I would like to set up a few FreeBSD machines such that one of them exports as much of it's file system to the rest of the FreeBSD machines as possible. I'll also be using NIS (the same machine which will be exporting he file system will be the master NIS server and all other machines will be clients). I know that /home would be handy to export, but I am wondering about other portions of the ifle system. At which point will problems start arising if I export certain portions of the file system - In other words, can I share /usr among all machines? Should I not share /var, and expeciall / itself?
