Right now, it does not work, but I don't know what is the point of failure. Upstairs (the Linux-only box) my /etc/exports file looks like this: /home/kevin/k-shared/ *(rw,root_squash,sync) /home/kevin/Documents/ *(rw,root_squash,sync) /home/kevin/downloads/ *(rw,root_squash,sync) /windows/ *(rw,root_squash,sync) /home/mywife/ *(rw,root_squash,sync) /media/ *(rw,root_squash,sync)
Get rid of the final '/' on the export pathname, make sure there is a blank line at the end of the file, and no extra spaces at the start or end of each line. IME NFS is very picky about whitespace. Then issue 'rcnfsserver restart' on a console as root. There will be more informative messages than you get from YaST. <SNIP>
POSSIBLY unrelated point. YaST seems to insert a tab character into the exports file (just before the "*" wildcards), but I read in a HowTo or a man page that the only separator should be a space. So, I edited the exports file to replace the tab characters with single spaces in those locations, but have noticed no difference after saving and restarting.
The tab is OK, so long as there is no extraneous whitespace.
Where do I go, next with NFS setup? I just want to see it working, at first. I'll worry about options and getting fancy at a later date.
