An update to this, when I tried to start and stop mountd by hand, I got an error from mountd saying it couldn't export the mount point when I had the line: /mnt/oldhome 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 but not when I changed the line to: /mnt 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3 Also, everytime I got that error there was a kernel message generated about ext2fs not supporting the old mount system call so I think the problem is definitely in the ext2 filesystem code. Is this a bug or just a feature not supported by the ext2 filesystem. If it's just a bug, is there any way around it? > -- > I sense much NT in you. > NT leads to Bluescreen. > Bluescreen leads to downtime. > Downtime leads to suffering. > NT is the path to the darkside. > Powerful Unix is. > > Public Key: ftp://ftp.tallye.com/pub/lorenl_pubkey.asc > Fingerprint: B3B9 D669 69C9 09EC 1BCD 835A FAF3 7A46 E4A3 280C > -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.
