Exporting directories lower than / works fine. My case might be more complicated: Both machines are exporting filesystems. >From my original message: >I want to export the root file system from machine A and import it >on machine B. On B I would like the file system to be mounted >as /mnt/A_root. The complication is that on A (machine wanting to export root) there are some directories below / that come from B. But the NFS export code should handle that right? Oh well thanks for the suggestions. -Ram
