I'm using nfs to export read only. However, on there other server, I can 'see' everything, except the lvm mount.
Of course NFS can export lvm points. Assuming that your / is an LVM volume, just export / as usual.
/ 192.168.1.0/24(no_root_squash,ro,sync)
(/ is a 2.4 Tb LVM volume - nothing special to it) I don't have root lvm. Suppose my lvm point is /lvm and contains lots of sub dirs and files and the *real* directory /lvm is empty.
What I see on the nfs client is an empty /lvm directory, and and NOT the lot's of files and directories I should be seeing (and actually see, on the server locally and via samba). All non-lvm directories show up just fine. my exports on the server: / x.x.x.x(ro,no_root_squash,sync) fstab on client: x.x.x.x:/ /mnt/test nfs defaults 0 0 Result: all directories and files show up on client, except everything under (the three) lvm mount points. Ideas..? mj
