Hello,
I was reading about automounting on Solaris10 and faced with the following sentence: "When the automount daemon is initialized on the server, no exported directories are mounted by the clients." What does it mean? Could you please explain? What is "exported directories" ? Thanks |

I can see that there is directory;
/home under / and when I need to indicate it to Solaris, I should type /export/home all the time. Why should I type /export/home ? What is the difference between /home and /export/home ? Thanks |

Quote:
1) A filesystem mounted local on the NFS server which is exported and 2) A filesystem remote to the client system which is mounted across a local filesystem. Like this: SystemA is the host and has filesystem /home/blog which is NFS exported. SystemB has a local filesystem /home/blog and the remote filesystem /home/blog from SystemA is NFS mounted across it. The result is that only the files on SystemA /home/blog will be seen. Do not mix up the local filesystem /export with the NFS "Exported" filesystems they are two different things. Hope this helps. |
