Perhaps someone can suggest a solution:
I wish to export a CD rom from my FREEBSD system to a couple of PC's. I
already export a couple of other file systems from this machine with no
problems.
What I have is that I cannot export it as a filesystem, because I am not
mounting the CD untill after the NFS daemons have started, so the
directory
specified in /etc/exports is nothing but a mount point.
If I export a filesystem and then mount the CD on a directory within
that
filesystem, nothing is seen by the pc's.
Do I need to wake up the nfs daemons?
Thanks in advance.
