Subject: are multiple FSIDs supported?
Date: Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:32:44 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <babafd2f0910231132n464da0crc2a5cc0427af9a40@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hello,
I'm building an NFSv4 FileServer. My goal is to service multiple
machines on a LAN, each with their own, isolated namespace (I'm not
sure that's the right terminology).
Reading the man page it seems that only ONE fsid=0 export is allowed
per server. And that subdirectories of that root CAN be exported, but
always under the same/one root.
That doesn't seem like "good isolation" to me.
My goal would be to export, for example
/nfs1 & it's subdirs ONLY to LAN box1
/nfs2 & it's subdirs ONLY to LAN box2
etc
I've seen some mentions & discussion online of multiple-fsid's, where
/nfs1 would be exported as a root under fsid=0, /nfs2 under fsid=1,
etc.
But this approach doesn't look like its currently supported or
recommended. Even if it was I haven't found anything that says how a
nfsv4 client would ADDRESS the specific fsid's. Something in the
mount's URI I guess.
I know I might still be stuck in NFSv3 thinking about this, and NFSv4
subdirs might be isolated "well enough".
