Hi: (Suse 7.3)
I have a server machine named tong 192.168.0.12 which has /etc/exports:
/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(ro) /home 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw)
And on the client machine ting 192.168.0.11 I can mount the tong:/home , but I can't mount tong:/
I had a very similar problem. I exported: /home 192.168.0.0/24(rw) /home/multimedia 192.168.0.0/24(rw) As long as I had 7.3 on my server it worked very good. When I installed 8.0 on the server it stopped working most of the time. Occasionally I could mount the /home. /home/multimedia mounted without problem. The solution for me was to move /home/multimedia to /multimedia and then there were no problems. It seems to me that there is some rule in NFS that says that you are not allowed to export a directory above an other directory in the hierarchy. I would like to know if there is a bug in the new NFS (in 8.0) or if there was some checking in the old that was not working. Regards /Nils-Olov Fransson
