do you guys ever read the man page??
read the following about 10 times... it is hard to understand, but make
sure you know what it says, not what you THINK is says... this is from
exports(5):
A host may be specified only once for
each local filesystem on the server and there may be only one default en-
try for each server filesystem that applies to all other hosts. The lat-
ter exports the filesystem to the ``world'' and should be used only when
the filesystem contains public information.
so, if you want to export /var and /var/tmp both on the same file
system to the same host, it would be:
/var /var/tmp somehost
because of this, I organize my /etc/exports file by file system and then
by host... so I do stuff like:
#all of my /usr exports
/usr /usr/local hosta
/usr /usr/X11R6 hostb
/usr/local -ro
#all of my /a exports
/a hostc
/a /a/datadir hostd
