The /etc/exports file controls what filesystems you
wish to export. Its format is as follows:
directory hostname(options) |
The (options) are
not required. For example:
/mnt/export speedy.redhat.com |
would allow speedy.redhat.com to mount
/mnt/export, but:
/mnt/export speedy.redhat.com(ro) |
would allow speedy to mount /mnt/export read-only.
Each time you change /etc/exports, you must tell
the NFS daemons to examine it for new information. One simple way to
accomplish this is to just stop and start the daemons:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs stop
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs start |
Or you can restart the daemons with this command:
/etc/rc.d/init.d/nfs restart |
The following command will also work:
killall -HUP rpc.nfsd rpc.mountd |
