The server has /var mounted on a separate SCSI drive. Exports are fine. I have two insecure exports to 192.168.0.0/24; / and /var. Mounting server:/ works perfectly. If I try to mount /var on a client machine, I get a message that the "special device" does not exist. The server log indicates that the file handles of / and /var are duplicated. While the root directory "/" works perfectly (export and mount), it does not provide access to /var, presumably because it is not on the same partition (??). I tried a soft link on the server (nfsvar -> var) as a work-around. However, from a client that ends up linking to the local /var directory. Any ideas?
