ComputerA has a usb drive /dev/sdc1 - either fat32 or ntfs.
I mount it as
/dev/sdc1 on /ext/c1 type ntfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=000)
all user on ComputerA can access it.
My /etc/exports has:
/ext 192.168.0.0/24(async,no_subtree_check,rw)
ComputerB has mounted:
ComputerA:/ext on /ext type nfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,addr=192.168.0.7)
no one on B can see files in /ext/c1 - it is like nfs isn't aware that a drive is mounted on 'c1'.
How do I provide nfs access to these usb/firewire drives?
The man page for exports mentions the nohide option, which makes it work for one client - but this did not work for me.
I guess I'll try a share for each drive
I figured nfs would abstract the file system types out of it. Maybe samba is a better choice?
