Folks,
I've sorted the problem ! It looks like the kernel nfs server in 2.2.18, and the kernel nfs client in 2.2.16 don't work too well together. It wasn't "no_subtree_check" I needed, it was "nohide". The solution ? 1) Upgrade both boxes to 2.2.18 2) install the latest nfs utils from ufs-utils-0.2.1 (using "./configure --enable-kprefix" to get the correct names for the utils). 3) Change /etc/exports to include "nohide" and explicit exports for directories that are themselves mounted filesystems. Peter Onion.
Since moving from 6.3 to 7.0 Pro and moving to the kernel nfs server in 2.2.18 I've had the following problems.
Machine B has /, /opt, /usr and /home ext2 filesystems mounted.
From machine A I used to able to "mount -t nfs B:/ /B" to make the whole of B's filestore visable on A. However now the /opt /usr and /home directories appear empty when viewed from A.
I think the "no_subtree_check" option has something to do with this problem, but the version of mount in 7.0 complains that "no_subtree_mount" is an "Unknown keyword".
