NFS

[friki]

Hi,

I must export fs by NFS /opt/dir1/fich1
but in /etc/exports already is exported /opt/dir1.

Is possible a /etc/exports with this:
/opt/dir1
/opt/dir1/fich1
How can i do it??

Thanks and regards.-

It's possible, but unnecessary: when you run it it will tell you that the parent directory is already exported. Because you've exported the parent, fich1 is already available.

It's not possible to export a subdirectory of an already exported directory.
You could export /opt/dir1 to include the host you want to mount on and only mount /opt/dir1/fich1.
Or unexport /opt/dir1 (exportfs -uv /opt/dir1) and then export /opt/dir1/fich1. Of course any hosts that had /opt/dir1 mounted would then lose access.

You don't need to export sub directories with exportfs command.

man exportfs says,

You cannot export a directory that resides within the same file system
and is either a parent or sub-directory of a directory that is
currently exported. For example, /usr and /usr/local cannot both be
exported if they reside in the same disk partition.

Whenever you export a directory through NFS, all sub direcortories will also be exported and available.. So, its not necessary to do so.

thank you,
Could i then mount /opt/dir1/fich1 in server node and mount it in server client without problems?
Thanks and sorry because my questions..

[MarkSyder]

If you've exported the parent directory you should only have to cd on the client.

Yes surely.

Example:

# exportfs -iv /opt/dir1

will not consider /etc/exports file.

# mkdir /tmp/trydir
# mount /opt/dir1/fich1 /tmp/trydir
# ls -l /tmp/trydir /opt/dir1/fich1

will be same.

### Revert procedure ####
# umount /tmp/trydir
# rm -rf /tmp/trydir
(will revert to old stage ;) )

Hi,
I had do it and i have a problem:

I make a fs in node1 /opt/dir1/fich1

but when i try mount it in node2 i cant do it.

Thanks

1. Check what /opt/dir1 is exported as

2. log in to node 2 and type:

cd /vol//fich1

where is the result of test 1.

# mkdir /tmp/trydir
# mount /opt/dir1/fich1 /tmp/trydir

I mistake another time. Thanks to all people.
