Linux has a userland NFS implementation which behaves quite different from all the kernel NFS implementations around.

The -alldirs would only be needed if you want to allow the remote machine to mount subdirectories of one physical filesystem (which is not what you want here). (The opposite to -alldirs is to specify all the allowable export points explicitly, but even then, you are still bound to use one single line per physical filesystem in the exports file.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
