Re: [SLE] export lvm volumes with nfs on sles9 sp2
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

How odd. All the subdirs under an exported dir should also be exported - I'm not certain how one would _avoid_ it. Have you checked permissions and ownership? If I recall, the x permission on a dir controls the ability to cd into it and list it with ls. You specify defaults in your client fstab - what defaults have you set, anything unusual?
