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

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-

But were those subdirectories different FILESYSTEMS, or lvm mounts, of different harddisks? Anyway... I've tried it, and indeed... it works! :-) export: / x.x.x.x(ro) /lvm_mount_point x.x.x.x(ro,nohide) and you mount it in one go. (the various sub exports mount automatically when mounting /) Thanks for thinking along! Mourik Jan
