This works fine for me. My /etc/exports file looks like: /cdrom -alldirs -mapall=nfs -network 198.115.48 -mask 255.255.255.0 /public -alldirs -mapall=nfs -network 198.115.48 -mask 255.255.255.0 This will complain if no CDROM is present in the drive, so the procedure for exporting a CD is: mount -t cd9660 /dev/wcd0c /cdrom kill -HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid` The last line reinits the mountd daemon in order to re-read the exports file. The only other thing I have is pcnfsd configured. Set pcnfsd=YES in /etc/sysconfig. I'm not sure if any of that helps, but it does work.
