I am not sure what it is that I am doing wrong here, but it is driving
me nuts.
Here is what I am trying to set up: I want some individual directories
on the server to be available to my whole lan, but I want one machine to
have access to the whole directory tree for administration. Here is what
I have in my exports file:
/home/ian *.ihtruelsen.2y.net(rw,no_root_squash)
/media *.ihtruelsen.2y.net(rw,no_root_squash)
/home/httpd *.ihtruelsen.2y.net(rw,no_root_squash)
/ minion.ihtruelsen.2y.net(rw,no_root_squash)
This works fine for the individual directories, but the whole structure
will not mount on the minion machine, giving me a Permission denied
error.
Can anyone give me some idea why this won't work as imagined?

I don't believe you can share both a directory and a sub-directory of that
same directory at the same time.

I just guess a possible solution for it.
" If a directory is exported, its parent and child
directories can not be exported if they are in the same file
system "
[ http://www.tldp.org, NFS-Howto ]
If this is true and your case will become an example
of it, then minion is given both a child directory and
its parent.
First, in the wild card usage
/(child directory) *.ihtruelsen.2y.net
Second, in the laststatement
/ minion.ihtruelsen.2y.net
So, the solution may be excluding minion from
the wildcard group. It may be done in two
ways :
1) Is there any way to exclude a particular machine from wild
card ? - I do not know it and like to hear from the group.
If exists, exclude it.
2) If the number of machines is less, write all
avoiding wildcards. Wildcards, I think, are not
preferable for some other reasons also.
