} Date: Tue, 5 May 2009 13:37:27 -0700 } From: "Page, Jeremy" jeremy.page@gilbarco.com } To: toasters@mathworks.com } Subject: Re-exporting your /etc/exports - how do I get a change in order of } shares to take effect? } } I have several NFS mount points that also have child directories also } exported and I've been told that you should export the parent } directories first, then the children.
Was the reason for that, specified? If it was wrt order of matching, then it should not matter - ONTAP looks for the longest matching prefix to determine which export rule to apply. The docs mention that (search for 'prefix') -

} I've updated my /etc/exports file } and ran exportfs -r on the filer but it does not look like it's taking } effect if I do an exportfs to see what's currently exported. How do I } get the exports in the correct order?
So the order in /etc/exports or the exportfs display, should not matter. You can test and try to see which rule is taking effect.
Aside - you will need to be watchful about how the export permissions are laid out for the child and the parent dirs - to be sure you really have the desired checks in-effect at each level.
thanks,
