I'm trying to share my home directory on my ydl box with my OS X box via nfs.
I can export /home no problem, and can mount ydl_box:/home on the OS X box
with no problems, but my home directory shows up as a locked volume, while
other directories under ydl_box:/home show up with correct permissions.
Checking the permissions on the directories under /home reveals the following:
drwxr-xr-x 6 drobson drobson 4096 Jun 17 19:27 drobson
drwxr-xr-x 6 ken ken 4096 Jul 5 22:27 ken
drwx------ 27 kjolly kjolly 4096 Aug 19 12:55 kjolly
drwxr-xr-x 6 michelle michelle 4096 Mar 18 09:35 michelle
drwxrwxr-x 2 nobody nobody 4096 Apr 4 21:51 netlogon
drwx------ 99 njolly njolly 8192 Aug 19 13:21 njolly
drwxrwxrwx 2 nobody nobody 4096 Apr 22 22:45 public

The only 2 directories listed above that cannot be accessed are michelle and
njolly, the remainder can be accessed with no problems. If I try to export
just my home directory (/home/njolly) ,with this /etc/exports:
/home/njolly dozer.jollycomp(rw,insecure) mac.jollycomp(rw,insecure)
get the following error when rereading the /etc/exports file:
[root@biathlon home]# exportfs -ra
mac.jollycomp:/home/njolly: Invalid argument
dozer.jollycomp:/home/njolly: Invalid argument
If I export only /home I get no errors when rereading /etc/exports. Is there
a limit to the amount of files/directories that can be exported? Does anyone
have any ideas here?

TIA Neil
