In /etc/exports: /pub -alldirs client /pub/video -alldirs client On the client side, I didn't change anything to the configuration of AMD. Simply cd'ing to /host/server/pub and then 'cd video' does the right thing. I don't think -alldirs is really needed, but it's there for convenience. Regards, Pieter de Goeje
