exportfs problem

Belinda Dermody — Fri, 17 Dec 2004 15:38:14 GMT

I need to export one of my directories to a development box
ex: /usr/ud/HARRIS
This has a lot of sub directories
but on another test box I only want to export a subdirectory to it
ex: /usr/ud/HARRIS/misc_file
But when I run exportfs -a I get the following error
exportfs error: /usr/ud/HARRIS1: parent-directory (/usr/ud) already exported
exportfs error: /usr/ud/HARRIS: sub-directory (/usr/ud/HARRIS/misc_file) already
exported

And I can not mount the /usr/ud/HARRIS/misc_file on the test system.

Running HP-UX 11i

you can try with two entries and with -access option.
It will look as follows.
/dir_to_export/1 -access=host1
/dir_to_export/2 -access=host2

This should work.

Looks /usr/ud is exported. No need to export sub-directories under that. Clean up any exports under /usr/ud in /etc/exports.

You can just mount like this
mount server:/usr/ud/HARRIS/misc_file /what-ever-mount-point.
