hi fellow FBSD'ers, I got the following problem with 2.0.5-RELEASE NFS server: I have 3 disk partitions on my HD, /, /usr, and /xvar. I want to have 4 exported dirs, /usr/src, /usr/ports, /xvar/ftp and /xvar/pubhome. first, I have set up /etc/exports so only /usr/src and /xvar/ftp were exported. That was all fine. then, I have added two more dirs, namely, /usr/ports and /xvar/pubhome. when I do kill -1 mountd_pid (or just reboot the system), it says: (not screenshot, but should be close) can't change attributes for /usr/ports bad exports list line /usr/ports [machines where dir in exported to] and same for /xvar/pubhome. Am I missing something? (maybe 2.1-STABLE? ;-)) other glitch: really, I have somewhat nicer names for them, like /r/ftp, /r/src.fbsd, etc, and local symlinks on NFS server, but it seems that FreeBSD cannot export path with symlinks (remote mounts of these names work ok - server translates them to real names correctly). So now I have to list real paths in /etc/exports and can use symlinks on clients. Is this corrected in newer versions? AFAIK, Solaris can export (`share') symlinks just fine (they appear resolved in `showmount' output, well). please Cc: replies to me (I'm not receiving -bugs just now).
