Can you please verify? Well, let's explain it better (it was near midnight, yesterday... :-) I'm sorry to contradict *YOU* :-), but it worked fine before applying the patches. What I forgot to mention yesterday (well, it was almost today) is that the two partitions mountd is complaining about are FAT16 partitions, while the partition I was trying to mount is a FAT32 one (BTW the mount itself succeeds, and I can tamper my Windows partition--beautiful!). This is why I thought of a patch-related problem. Today I discovered that mountd yells in the same way as soon as I mount anything (say, /mnt/cdrom) either by hand or via amd: ugo@pegasus:/home/ugo [0]# mount /mnt/cdrom ugo@pegasus:/home/ugo [0]# May 7 18:09:47 pegasus mountd[110]: Can't change attributes for /mnt/limbo. May 7 18:09:47 pegasus mountd[110]: Bad exports list line /mnt/limbo -maproot May 7 18:09:47 pegasus mountd[110]: Can't change attributes for /mnt/xchange_1. May 7 18:09:47 pegasus mountd[110]: Bad exports list line /mnt/xchange_1 -maproot [ ls /amd/cdrom/ leads to the same result (a mounted cdrom and those errors on console) ] Moreover, if I had a bogus entry in /etc/exports, mountd would tell me that during boot, as soon as it is started, but it doesn't: it stays quiet until I mount something else. I'm curious to know what the machine does if I insert /mnt/windows95 in my fstab... please wait, rebooting... [ some time later ] Rebooted fine, no errors. If I mount something now (or ls /amd/cdrom/), I get the same result as before. What I really don't understand is that everything works fine (just as before patching) if I don't mount anything: I can go to another host and NFS-mount those exported FAT16 partition fine. As soon as I mount something here on pegasus, I don't export them anymore. Is there any known problem with NFS exporting + FAT + maproot? BTW, does this happens on -current too? I cannot test that here, as my -current laptop has only one slice on its HD (well, two, but the second is for BIOS Save To Disk feature :-) What can I do to track this down? > - Jordan Bye, UP To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
