Dear all
I wish to export two directories for other people to mount, so I write
in my /etc/exports:
/var/ftp/pub -ro
/var/ftp/pub/music -ro
Start NFS server then I found only /var/ftp/music is successfully
exported, /var/log/message says:
Jul 22 15:34:32 exupery mountd[404]: can't change attributes
for /var/ftp/pub/music
Jul 22 15:34:32 exupery mountd[404]: bad exports list
line /var/ftp/pub/music -ro
I cannot understand what is "change attributes" and why it cannot be
done, so I go to read handbook. Here is the handbook section about this
issue
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/networking.html#EXPORTS-ERRORS
12.13. Why does mountd keep telling me it “can't change
attributes” and that I have a “bad exports list” on my FreeBSD
NFS server?
The most frequent problem is not understanding the correct
format of /etc/exports. Please review exports(5) and the NFS
entry in the Handbook, especially the section on configuring
NFS.
And yes, I reviewed both document, and I am sure the format is correct
because it's only two similar lines and the first line is accepted by
server:
/var/ftp/pub -ro
/var/ftp/pub/music -ro
Give up on this, then I think probably I can use -alldirs. I write
my /etc/exports:
/var/ftp/pub -alldirs -ro
Start NFS server, check /var/log/messages I found:
Jul 22 15:30:37 exupery mountd[404]: -alldirs requested
but /var/ftp/pub is not a filesystem mountpoint
Jul 22 15:30:37 exupery mountd[404]: bad exports list
line /var/ftp/pub -alldirs
This seems to suggest that I cannot use -alldirs because /var/ftp/pub is
a plain directory, only a mount point can use -alldirs (in my
case, /var).
So I am stuck here. Any suggestion getting me out? Is it possible at all
to export a directory and also it's sub-directory?
Best Regards
