[NFS] troubles with nohide -- crossmnt

[NFS] troubles with nohide -- crossmnt

[Pascal A. Dupuis]

Hello,

I'd like to export two filesystems, mounted on one another. The setup is :

some partition mounted as /home/user  (parent)
another one            as /home/user/archive  (child)

The export file contains:
/home/user/archive	192.168.1.10(rw,subtree_check,fsid=0) 
/home/user           	192.168.1.10(rw,subtree_check,fsid=0,crossmnt) 

I tried:
-setting the 'nohide' option on the child
-setting the crossmnt on the parent
-permuting the order 

Whatever case I try, on the client I ALWAYS see the child directory,
and not the parent. Any clue ?

Both systems are linux-2.6.24, debian SID, nfs-kernel-package for the
server, nfsv4 compiled as a module.

TIA

Pascal Dupuis

You shouldn't have 2 exports with the same fsid= option. They
should be different. I'd suggest giving /home/user fsid=0
and /home/user/archive fsid=1 (or something else).

OK. It made the trick. I didn't notice that both exported FS had the
same fsid. Thanks. Maybe this should be included in the FAQS ?

We are working on changing things so the fsid=0 is not needed...

steved.

More helpful than a FAQ entry might just be a warning from exportfs or
mountd or whatever--it shouldn't be hard to check for the above.

I've added this to the list at:

It might not be a bad idea to also warn if we detect that the user
changes the fsid mapping in /etc/exports. If there are active clients at
the time of the modification, then that will cause trouble for them.

Sure.  I've added that too.

(Lots of easy stuff on that list!  Help yourselves!  OK, probably some
dumb or out-of-date stuff there too--may want to ask first.)
