Leopard has changed many things. They're moving away from BSD and embracing a more POSIX outlook. Imagine my surprise when ps -aux returned an error and ps -aef worked instead. Remember all the frustration I had with trying to export an OSX filesystem to my Solaris box several years ago? Considering OSX has dumped that horrific NetInfo GUI for a more standardized /etc/exports approach since 10.5, I was certain I would be immediately successful in mounting my 500GB FAT32 USB drive from OSX to ubuntu via nfs.
I was wrong:
mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting 192.168.0.3:/Volumes/500GB
ehowtons-mac-mini /sbin/nfsd[65]: Can't export /Volumes/500GB: Operation not supported (45)
Nothing I have tried has worked, and I've been at it nearly seven hours. There are a ton of resources online for how to mount ubuntu to OSX, but not a one for the other way around. Excepting this, which keeps showing up and is complete and utter crap, and I want to physically harm the person who posted it:
Setting up NFS exports under Leopard is insanely easy: just add an entry to (or more usually, create) /etc/exports, and it gets picked up automatically. This file survives reboots, as well; pretty cool.
Here's an example:
muse:~ root# cat /etc/exports
/Volumes/BigDisk/Panic -maproot=netroot 10.0.1.1
muse:~ root# showmount -e
Exports list on localhost:
/Volumes/BigDisk/Panic 10.0.1.1
muse:~ root#
"Insanely easy." |
