AIX Exports file
Why can I not add more than 1 filesystem to the /etc/exports file and export them via smitty, or command line?
I have tried, I stopped the NFS daemons, edited the /etc/exports file by hand, saved it, then re-started NFS, but it only still exports the first line in the exports file.


(trying to add /backup2 again).

from smitty --> mknfsexp: 1831-355 an export for /backup2 already exists

root@mojave:/>exportfs
/databases -access=*,public

root@mojave:/>oslevel -r
5200-09

root@mojave:/>cat /etc/xtab
/databases -access=*,public

root@mojave:/>cat /etc/exports
/databases -access=*,public

returns no exported file systems for system.

where does smitty gets its information about whats in /etc/exports? ODM? If so how to check the ODM?

First unexport all the filsystem and then export all again.

smit _nfs --> Remove a Directory from Exports List

smit _nfs --> Add a Directory to Exports List

Thanks for all the advice, but finally figured out the issue late last nite...I did not have to mark the directory as public, since it was already mounted (not sure if thats the real reason why the public option didnt work, but thats my suggestion).
