Hi All,

Here is one peculiar problem I am facing with exportfs command.

I have exported these following directories in /etc/dfs/dfstab file

/home -access=rx26-156:dhl-6a.digitalindiasw.net
/opt -ro
/dev -access=rx26-156
/etc/opt -root=rx26-156

then after saving the file when I am executing the exportfs command :

# exportfs -a

here is the error I am getting:

/sbin/sh[2]: /home: Execute permission denied.
/sbin/sh[3]: /opt: Execute permission denied.
/sbin/sh[4]: /dev: Execute permission denied.
/sbin/sh[5]: /etc/opt: Execute permission denied.

Please help out

Why arent you using /etc/exports file?

On Solaris, the proper syntax for the /etc/dfs/dfstab file consists of executable lines that begin with the share command.

Like so: share [-F fstype] [ -o options] [-d "<text>"] <pathname> [resource]

Here's an exmaple:

share -F nfs -o rw=@192.168.1.0/24 -d "hostname:/export/d0" /export/d0

Hi All,

1. I am using /etc/dfs/dfstab because in HP-UX v11.31 the /etc/exports file got replaced by /etc/dfs/dfstab

2. Do I have to convert the file systems of the exported directories to nfs file system otherwise it won't work??
