I think Anton, that YOU need to RTFM on the man pages for NFS before you make assumptions/claims that I have not done so. NOWHERE, in the man page for NFS does it say anything like what you are claiming it does.
Yes, but I read ALL the documentation on NFS, not just the NFS man page. Try the 'exports' man page. There you will find it says Normally, if a server exports two filesystems one of which is mounted on the other, then the client will have to mount both filesystems explicitly to get access to them. If it just mounts the parent, it will see an empty directory at the place where the other filesystem is mounted. That filesystem is "hidden". You will see in the example entry I sent for the entries in /etc/exports.
/media \ 192.168.x.0/255.255.255.0(rw,async,no_root_squash,crossmnt) /media/sdb1 \ 192.168.x.0/255.255.255.0(rw,async,no_root_squash,crossmnt,nohide)
As I said there and then
RTFM It explains how deal with the situation you are in.
I'm so glad you found it. I'm only disapointed that you rushed ahead without reading everything. I know man pages are tedious and dry, but they are important. But recall: I said "It works for me" early on. That was becuase I'd read the man page. Man pages are also NOT there to justify the design decisions. They explain what the functions and paramaters are. If you want the design documents, I suggest you lok forthem on-line. NFS is a SUN design. Your bombast is unfounded. You make various other assertions about what can't be done. I'm sorry, Marc, its back to "it works for me". I don't know what you are doing wrong. That's why I said you must be infested with gremlins. If it works when I do it (and others I've spoken here and other client sites who've tried it), and it doesn't work for you, either you're not doing the same thing or you've got gremlins. -- Getting into a patent battle with IBM is right up there with starting a land war in Asia -- http://slashdot.org/~Don+Negro -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
