NFS problems

[John Dunn]

I am still having issues with NFS on redhat 9.

My understanding is that the list of exports is held in /etc/exports and
running exportfs puts them in /var/lib/nfs/xtab.

So why does the following not work? /var/lib/nfs/xtab is empty!


[root at linux1 etc]# cat /etc/exports
/home/sefas/director/opd4580/traffic      *(rw,insecure,sync)
[root at linux1 etc]# pwd
/etc
[root at linux1 etc]# exportfs -a
[root at linux1 etc]# cat /var/lib/nfs/xtab
[root at linux1 etc]# exportfs -rv
exporting *:/home/sefas/director/opd4580/traffic
[root at linux1 etc]# cat /var/lib/nfs/xtab
[root at linux1 etc]#
