Here is my /etc/exports

/ ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)
/usr ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)
/usr/src ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)
/home ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)
/hard1 ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)
/hard2 ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)
/hard3 ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)
/hard4 ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)
/usr/bbs ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)
#


Here is the fstab file.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system>	<mount point>	<type>	<options>			<dump>	<pass>
/dev/hda2	/		ext2	defaults,errors=remount-ro	1	1
/dev/hdc2	none		swap	sw			0	0
/dev/hdc4	none		swap	sw			0	0
/dev/hdb7	none		swap	sw			0	0
proc		/proc		proc	defaults			0	0
/dev/fd0	/floppy		auto	defaults,user,noauto		0	0
/dev/cdrom	/cdrom		iso9660	defaults,ro,user,noauto		0	0
/dev/hdc3 /usr ext2 rw			1	2
/dev/hdb6 /usr/bbs ext2 rw			1	2

/dev/hda3 /usr/src ext2 rw			1	2
/dev/hda4 /home ext2 rw			1	3

and here are mounts executed out of /etc/rc.local

mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /hard2
mount -t vfat /dev/hdb5 /hard4
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /hard3
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /hard1
