not too sure, but i would guess there isn't an "easy way" of doing it. my first suggestion would be to write a sed/awk script that writes what you'd have to manually add to /etc/fstab and /etc/exports on the respective machines, then all you have to do is a little cat'ing. also, something that might work to do this would be to export the root fs as smbfs. i'm not sure if this will work as your / fs, but i don't think it pays attention to partitions at all. then again, it's a crappy, shady implementation to have for your root fs, so maybe i wouldn't... :) hth sean
