Hi All
Since we upgraded our fileservers to RedHat 6.0 we have some unusual
problems with nfs. We installed the latest nfs rpm:
knfsd-1.4.6-2 and knfsd-clients-1.4.6-2
but we are finding that mount points cannot be "carried trough". What I
means is this: suppose the computer exporting filesystems has the
following partitions:
/home/kidna/year1
/home/kidna/year2
Previously, the clients were able to mount this with a single entry in
their fstab file, that is:
kidna:/home/kidna /home/kidna ext2 defaults 0 0
and the year1 and year2 directories (although on different partitions)
would be mounted also.
But now, with knfsd, you have to specify the name of the full partition,
that is, in fstab you have to specify fully:
kidna:/home/kidna/year1 /home/kidna/year1
kidna:/home/kidna/year2 /home/kidna/year2
This to me looks like a step backwards.
Anyone knows whether it is still possible, ie whether one can still
mount /home/kidna/year1 and year2 as
/home/kidna
on the client?
It may also be that this is an incompatibility between RedHat versions,
as the servers are RedHat 6.0 but the clients are still RedHat 5.2.
Maybe that is the issue?
Any information would be most welcome.
Thanks
Hugo
