Is this possible using NFS ?

Hi,

I've got a server, where a varying number of disks is connected. The layout:

/exampledir/onedisk/sometimes-mounted/etc
/exampledir/onotherdisk/sometimes-mounted/etc
/exampledir/harddisk/always-mounted
/exampledir/otherdata

can I simply export /exampledir from the server
and mount it via NFS by clients without having each client to inform when e.g 'onedisk' is connected or removed ?

THNX, Roger

Roger,

I think the answer to this question is going to be "no" unless you have only one client. There is an export option that might do what you want, it just may not work very well. Read about the nohide option in the exports(5) man page. You can try out that export option and see if it works for you. I tend to avoid it, though.
