My own home dir is in /export/home/raub. Now, I export them as: spindizzy> cat /etc/exports /export 10.0.0.0/24(ro,fsid=0,no_subtree_check,sync) /export/logs 10.0.0.21/24(rw,insecure,root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync) /export/home 10.0.0.0/24(rw,insecure,root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync) /export/public 10.0.0.0/24(ro,insecure,root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync) spindizzy> and mount /export/user using automount, cat /etc/auto.home # # File: /etc/auto.home # * -fstype=nfs4,hard,intr,rsize=8192,wsize=8192 fileserver:/home/& When I try to automount (say by logging in as saif user) pickles' homedir, it does not mount /dev/vg1/pickles. Instead, it just mounts it as if only existed in /dev/vg1/home/pickles in the fileserver: fileserver:/home/raub 197G 164G 33G 84% /home/raub fileserver:/home/pickles 197G 164G 33G 84% /home/pickles Sounds like I misconfigured my /etc/exports, but how?
