Hello!
I am using NetBSD 1.4.1 and have an exported path of /home.
When I add to /etc/exports the flag "-alldirs" so that you can mount stuff
within /home w/o specifically listing everything I get the following
error in /var/log/messages:
May 23 21:21:27 portents mountd[230]: "/home -alldirs -network 10.0.0
-mask 255.255.255.0", line 1: Could not remount /home: Invalid argument
now if I removed the -alldirs option it works fine but doesnt let me mount
within the mount points. If you read the man page for exports(5) it
specifically mentions the -alldirs flag, but mountd doesnt wanna support
it.
From the exports(5) man page:
"The second is to specify the pathname of the root of the filesystem
followed by the -alldirs flag; this form allows the host(s) to mount at
any point within the filesystem"
Also I was reading up on amd(8) and noticed that my install does not have
a man page for amd.conf(5) and was wondering if it is in the normal
distributions? I've installed all the sets for 1.4.1 so I dont know where
it might have gotten to!
Thanks in advance!
