>Number: 4448 >Category: bin >Synopsis: mountd doesn't export a directory with -alldirs options. >Confidential: no >Severity: serious >Priority: medium >Responsible: freebsd-bugs >State: open >Class: sw-bug >Submitter-Id: current-users >Arrival-Date: Mon Sep 1 16:50:01 PDT 1997 >Last-Modified: >Originator: Alain Brauner >Organization: Private user >Release: FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE i386 >Environment: I am using FreeBSD 2.2-STABLE ( just cvsupped ) in order to boot a diskless SUN Sparc IPX for NetBSD installation. So I need to export a SWAP space with the -alldirs options and the -r option of mountd. >Description: When the -alldirs options is set, mountd -r cannot export the directory. It syslog: Could not remount "%s" and Bad export list line "%s" Someone has already reported a similar problem when exporting an EXT2FS see PR# kern/3879 >How-To-Repeat: Just put /home -alldirs in your /etc/exports file for example and issue a killall -HUP mountd >Fix: I made a Quick and Dirty Kludge (QDK), I simply remove the test in mountd.c producing the error message and return(1) ... And i was able to boot & swap diskless and install NetBSD. NOTE: -alldirs just work as expected in my brand new NetBSD :-) Thank's again & again for your wonderfull work ! >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
