sounds like you're halfway there. Your /etc/exports file on the server (host) side should look something like this: / *(rw) /home *(rw) /drdos *(rw) and the /etc/fstab on the client(s) should contain something like: server:/ /network nfs defaults 0 0 server:/home /network/home nfs defaults 0 0 server:/drdos /network/drdos nfs defaults 0 0 remember each file must have a blank like at the end, and nfs can get picky about extraneous whitespace in /etc/exports That will put the exported filesystems in the same relative place on the clients (i.e. as if /network was the server's root fs) This is not necessarily a good thing - if for some reason the server's root export fails to mount, for example, then the other mounts will also fail. It would be better to put them in, e.g. /network/root /network/home and /network/drdos to avoid these issues. Also, unless there is good reason to then the root fs (server:/) shouldn't be exported, especially rw, but at least you don't have no_root_squash set as that is extremely unsafe. Also, you should at least use your local network as access list (e.g.) /home 192.168.15.0/24(rw) so that you can be more certain where connections are coming from. Lastly, if you are nfs mounting user home directories, you need the no_all_squash export option so that users have proper privelidges on their files. See man exports and man mount (and refs there) for plenty more info. Dylan -- Sweet moderation Heart of this nation Desert us not We are between the wars - Billy Bragg
I'm sure I didn't have export that partition in the past, but I am obvoiusly wrong. Thanks! </Jared> On Sat, 2003-05-17 at 09:08, Dylan wrote:

Maybe the default options have changed? I've not come across it because my exports were set up from the start to be on a per-partition basis. That might be positive symptom of experience with Windoze networks - sharing a 'disk'. Read up on the nohide export option in man exports. You might also think about the no_subtree_check option.
Thanks!
