Folks,
 
Another thought. Some of our profs here want to have their OD's mounted, then
exported for all to use. Well, I tried the obvious:
 
First mount the OD:
 
mount -o rw /dev/od0a /PROFS   (don't get IBM mad, but...)
 
Now, since we export "/" to everyone, and /PROFS in part of the same FS,
then it should be exported to, right? Well, wrong. After we do:
 
exportfs -va
 
we see "re-exporting /"
 
But when we try to mount the OD from the remote machines, we get:
 
"access denied"
 
Do I have to put the export command in the /etc/exports file? Isn't
there a way to do it manually for something you don't want to have
looked for each time at bootup?
 
On the remote machine we tried everything from:
 
mount -v -t nfs -o rw <diskfull machine>:/PROFS /Users/<user>/Teach
mount -v -t 4.3 -o rw <diskfull machine>:/PROFS /Users/<user>/Teach
mount -v -t nfs -o rw,bg,noquota,net <diskfull machine>:/PROFS /Users/<user>/Teach
mount -v -t 4.3 -o rw,bg,noquota,net <diskfull machine>:/PROFS /Users/<user>/Teach

So, uhm, what did we do wrong?
 
Thanks in advance!
