It does indeed, but it's not the problem you're looking for. First step is to get the CD/DVD mounted on the right mountpoint on the NFS server (that's a physical device mount on the machine in question, so the localhost: syntax isn't usable -- you're not using the network for this step, it's a local device on a local mountpoint). Once the DVD is mounted, then you tell the NFS server to reparse /etc/exports using 'exportfs -a'. It doesn't automatically do this if something changes (in order to make NFS server configuration processing atomic; you might want to make a bunch of changes and then commit the export after you're all done messing around), and most NFS servers won't export an empty mountpoint, even if it is configured in /etc/exports) Is there any reason why you're not putting all the mount options in /etc/exports (that's what's in the parens)? You *will* forget one, and be very confused why it doesn't work.... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@vm.marist.edu with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information on Linux on System z, visit http://wiki.linuxvm.org/
