Here's one to keep in mind. I ran into this today and it took me about an hour to figure out what was happening, I still can't figure out what to do. Maybe the discussion this is old hat to you more experienced admins out there but I thought I would put out to the list just in case. symptom: from my laptop on the office network, I copied a directory to a directory way down the tree on an nfs mounted partition, /pub. the directory was /pub/SoftWare/linux_software/redhat_addons /pub is mounted on the server and exported as /pub I logged in to the server and went ot look for the directory and it was not there. su -. still not there. Hmmm. I had copied the directory from a tar file using gmc and thought, "This must be some gmc virtual filesystem smoke and mirrors." Wrong. I copied it again after extracting it and using cp. Still not found by root on the server. NT machine via samba could not see it either. Checked all the exports and mounts to make sure something weird like being on the wrong box similar but different directories etc. No joy. Long story shorter, I recently ran out of space on the /pub directory and mounted a new 5GB partition as /pub/SoftWare. When I created the new partition I copied the files to the old and evidently left a bunch of stuff there. I then mounted the new partition as /pubSoftWare. The nfs mount is not allowing me to see anything in the other partition, just what is there in the same partition. I thought I remembered reading a while back that htere is an option to the exports file that will allow an nfs mount to use the partions that my be mouted under it but I cannot find it. Any Ideas? It does not seem too flexible to make me export and mount each partition under the exported one. What is the best way to set this up?
