Re: Double mount : nfs and vfat - is it possible ? (or other solutions)

[Oren Held]

As far as I know the NFS mechanism allows mounting a single filesystem 
and ignores sub mounts.

This is also quite secure, in a way.

Maybe I misunderstood the situation, but a simple solution would be to 
export also the /mnt/win on the server,

and mount it separately on the client..

Hi linux gurus,

I mount the windows partition (/dev/hda1) on /mnt/win (type vfat ,rw).

I created /etc/exports file for this dual boot machine;
it contains one line:
/ ip_Of_A_DifferentLinuxMachine(rw,no_root_squash)

Now , from another linux machine I nfs mount the dual-boot linux machine.
But I cannot see the contents of the /mnt/win folder (it is empty).

Is there a way to nfs mount that dual machine so that the /mnt/win
contents will be available ? And in case the
answer is 'no', are there other alternatives (excpet samba)?

From exports(5):
Normally, if a server exports two filesystems one of which is mounted on the 
other, then  the  client  will  have  to mount  both filesystems explicitly 
to get access to them. If it just mounts the parent, it will see an empty  
directory  at  the place where the other filesystem is mounted.

You need to export /mnt/win and mount it on the client explicitly.

If you're using a kernel-based NFS server, switch to a userspace-based one.
