So what seems to work was to put the new directory under that, and then export *that*. That is, /path/to/ourproj, which mounts under /ourproj, and we wanted to mount something else under /otherproj, (note that ourproj is the large xfs filesystem), so instead of /path/to/otherproj, I just exported /path/to/ourproj/otherproj, and mounted that on the other system as /otherproj. Does that make sense? Clear as mud?

[CentOS] Odd nfs mount problem
I'm exporting a directory, firewall's open on both machines (one CentOS 6.6, the other RHEL 6.6), it automounts on the exporting machine, but the other server, not so much. ls /mountpoint/directory eventually times out (directory being the NFS mount). mount -t nfs server:/location/being/exported /mnt works... but an immediate ls /mnt gives me stale file handle. The twist on this: the directory being exported is on an xfs filesystem... one that's 33TB (it's an external RAID 6 appliance). Any ideas? mark ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
