Try adding nohide as an option to /etc/exports. See exports(5) for more information about nohide and exporting filesystems with mount points.
Most interesting.
Looked, and applied...
no change..
these are the relevant lines in the /etc/exports
/data/shared/ 172.16.1.0/255.255.255.0(sync,rw,nohide) /data/shared/ 172.16.4.0/255.255.255.0(sync,rw,nohide)
Hi,
I was under the impression that nfs exports a filesystem in its entirety. Therefore, if you have another filesytem mounted in a subdirectory, you have to export it too, as it will not be exported for you. You therefore might have to have two entries:
/data/shared/ 172.16.1.0/255.255.255.0(sync,rw,nohide) /data/shared/Photos/Archive1 172.16.1.0/255.255.255.0(sync,ro)
I hope that helps. If nohide does not work, then you will have you use two mounts on the clients.
A.
(need to export to different subnets, anything else doesn't work)
Cheers
Did have another look at the nohide option after some sleep, and there is a rather special caveat...
<quote> The nohide option is currently only effective on single host exports. It does not work reliably with netgroup, subnet, or wildcard exports. </quote>
Not really good enough as this data needs to be exported to a whole lot of machines, i.e. two subnets..
Any other thoughts ?
