If you didn't set any defaults then it's not relevant.
You didn't mention the permissions of the files & dirs that aren't being exported.
true. I thought that if I'd mention that they DO export under samba, then that would be enough. But as an example: everything under /home is an lvm volume that doesn't export, permissions on all subdirs are 770. All groups / users are from ldap, so identical on both machines. /home itself is 755 all the three lvm volumes are xfs volumes. would that make a difference? mj

Just for grins, try setting the permissions to 777, then restart the nfs server. I don't _think_ that the filesystem being xfs should make a difference, but I'm not very experienced with that one - I usually use ext3. Mike- -- Mornings: Evolution in action.

I think I have found the problem. (though I haven't actually tried it yet...) I'll try it tomorrow... One has to use the nohide option in /etc/exports export root ro, and then ALSO export /lvm mountpoint, with the nohide option in /etc/exports so: / x.x.x.x(ro) /lvm_mount_point x.x.x.x(ro,nohide) note: x.x.x.x can only be a single host ip, and not a range. NOTE: I have not tried it yet, but this seems to be the solution... Michael W Cocke wrote:

I have my doubts about that being the problem (I've never used nohide and all of my subdirs are exported properly), but I guess we'll see tomorrow. Mike-
so:
/ x.x.x.x(ro) /lvm_mount_point x.x.x.x(ro,nohide)
note: x.x.x.x can only be a single host ip, and not a range.
