Description maxfield 1999-10-29 17:20:14 EDT 
/home is mounted on a separate partition from /

 export / to a machine, with no root squash

 on the machine to be mounting the directory under /remote,
do this:

 mount -t nfs exportmachine:/ /remote
 cp -av /home/* /remote/home

 you will get a list of files. you can
cd /remote/home
ls

 and the files will be there.

  telnet into the exportmachine, then
cd /home
ls

  the files are not there.  They are on the root file
system somewhere "underneath the [directory] rug." <grin>
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 1999-10-30 09:09:59 EDT 
Knfsd does not cross partitions, unlike the older user-space
nfs-server. Each partition on the server needs to be exported
separately, and clients must mount each partition.

FWIW, the new behavior of knfsd is more typical of NFS implementations
than the older nfs-server was.
