This is important since if it +doesn't then every time the server restarts the network interface you +are taking a chance it will get assigned a different IP and break the +client fstab entries." + +Sorry, that was in the first reply which disappeared in a flash of +accidentally highlighted text. I have taken no particular steps to +influence Smoothwall's DHCP address allocation other than to limit the +dynamic addresses to the range from 100 to 127. By observation, over +the last ten years or so, the same interfaces tend to get the same +addresses, though it may also depend on which machine hosts the boot +disc I am preparing. The maximum lease time is 2 hours, but I doubt if +that has much to do with it. Maybe I'm just lucky; I cannot remember +the last time I noticed an address change. + +"Has this configuration ever worked correctly? The exports file looks +fine but IIRC the fstab entry should match the exports file path, i.e. +it should be: 192.168.0.101:/home/richmag/Videos /mnt/Videos ...." + +Sorry again, perhaps I should have made these entries look "more +normal". Because the boot disc which provided the MGA1 and 2010.2 +environments on this box has been used for a lot of testing of +upgrades and 32/64 bit environments I use a system of hidden home +directories and boot-time generated symlinks to match my home +directories to my current user name. In recent times I have noticed +that applications may sometimes unexpectedly use the real directory +name and sometimes as expected the name of the symlink. I have long +since stopped worrying about how to fix this "problem"; it looks +stupid but it still works. + +So the answer is yes, this always works as expected. I have only been +able to make if fail reliably (:-) in Mageia 1 with an unmodified port +parameter for rpc.mountd. As noted above I have also completed a test +under Mageia 2 (using a different boot disc on the same box) and it +works perfectly - no need to hack /etc/sysconfig/nfs-server. + +I'm off to bed now - long journey in the morning. Here is the report +from the MGA2 system which is working just fine.
