[Aravind_3]

Why is that am getting this error in a script ?

1 exportfs error: /data: Invalid argument
2 exportfs error: /platform: Invalid argument
3 exportfs error: /home: Invalid argument
4 exportfs error: /meas: Invalid argument
5 exportfs error: /permdir: Invalid argument

if youre going to put a directory as an option to the exportfs command you need the -u or -v options. See the manpage for exportfs for the correct format to use.

Hi,

How are you calling it in your script?

What's in the /etc/exports file?

Hi Aravind,
Your /etc/exports file may not be in correct format.
Can you post the file?

[Aravind_3]

Here's the /etc/exports file:

We are using the following two options in the script:
EXPORTFS='/usr/sbin/exportfs -a'
UNEXPORT='/usr/sbin/exportfs -ua'

Hi

your file /etc/exports seems to be ok.

What's the output if you only type "exportfs -a" in a shell ?

Try removing the leading ':' from your access list. Then do an exportfs -a and watch for errors.

Good Luck.
