Date: 5 Dec 1995 22:56:27 GMT Organization: Image Tech Computing Lines: 14 Message-ID: <4a2imr$o8c@heathers.stdio.com> References: <49tr39$6c6@news.csie.nctu.edu.tw> Reply-To: risner@stdio.com NNTP-Posting-Host: os2 X-Newsreader: IBM NewsReader/2 v1.2 The reason for this is that Linux's NFS is implemented in a user process (SLOW!) and FreeBSD is implemented in the Kernel. Rexporting is SLOW and doubles network load. Linux is the ONLY unix system that allows re-export of NFS fs. If you want others to mount the system, do what should be done... mount it directly instead of rexporting.
