Date: 4 Dec 1995 20:57:17 GMT Organization: Columbia University Center for Telecommunications Research Lines: 30 Message-ID: <49vnbe$dig@sol.ctr.columbia.edu> References: <49tr39$6c6@news.csie.nctu.edu.tw> NNTP-Posting-Host: startide.ctr.columbia.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Daring to challenge the will of the almighty Leviam00se, Ben-Lih Hsing (blhsing@csie.nctu.edu.tw) had the courage to say: : In Linux, we have the option '-r' for rpc.nfsd to re-export an imported NFS : filesystem. Is there a way for nfsd in FreeBSD to do the same thing? : Your help will be greatly appreciated. : -- : Ben-Lih Hsing (¨·¥»¥ß) blhsing@ccca.nctu.edu.tw & blhsing@csie.nctu.edu.tw : Vice President of Hsinchu High School Alumni Association in NCTU Division : Leader of Development Group in Campus Computer Communication Association : Sophomore of Department of Computer Science & Information Engineering : National Chiao-Tung University, Hsinchu, Taiwan, Republic Of China I believe this is what's known as multi-hop NFS, and it's supposed to be a Bad Thing (tm). FreeBSD doesn't support it (can't speak unequivocally for NetBSD, but I'd venture to say it doesn't either). It could probably be made to support it, but I can't see anyone falling over themselves to do it any time in the near future. -Bill -- ============================================================================= -Bill Paul (212) 854-6020 | System Manager Work: wpaul@ctr.columbia.edu | Center for Telecommunications Research Home: wpaul@skynet.ctr.columbia.edu | Columbia University, New York City ============================================================================= License error: The license for this .sig file has expired.
