In 4.x, NetApp added a feature such that one could do an export of a file system to a network (net/netmask) such that:

exportfs -root=192.168.250.0/24 /export/test

would allow anybody on the 192.168.250 network to get to /export/test on the filer.

Cool.

This works without a problem. What I am running into a hitch with is making this work out of the /etc/exports file. It just does not seem to want to work.

Has anybody else worked with this notation out of the exports file? Did it work? Is the order of the hosts important (subnets before hosts)?

Or am I simply missing something obvious?

Thanks.
