Error with Exportffs command

Glenn Wagner — Tue, 18 Dec 2001 20:36:35 GMT

I have a cd that I am mounting using pfs_mount. The syntax of the mount is (pfs_mount -t rrip -x unix /dev/dsk/c0t0d0 /cdrom) and this mounts fine. When I go to export the /cdrom directory, I get the following error
"exportfs error: /cdrom: Too many levels of remote in path". Any ideas why this is happening or how I can get around it? This is on a 10.20 C3600. I need to install this software on a 11.11 C3000 so I need to export the file system to do it.

Thanks.
Glenn

You've got to use the pfs_exportfs command.
Man pfs_exportfs for details.

Thanks. That exported the file system but I am unable to remotely access it now. I cannot cd to it via NFS and when I do a pfs_mount on the remote host to mount the cdrom (using the command pfs_mount hostname:/cdrom /cdrom I get the following error pfs_mount: giving up on /cdrom

Any ideas!!!
