[9fans] exporting namespace

[9fans] exporting namespace

[lupin636]

Hi All,
I'm trying to export a namespace from my file server (that is a
namespace's bootes) to my terminal (logging as a client), i tried to
do:
servname% exportfs -a -r /tmp  (from file server)
but i have this error:
exportfs: auth_proxy: auth_proxy write fd: inappropriate use of fd
before doing this, i opened the listeners by doing:
aux/listen tcp

Into the fileserver, i can mount/bind namespace from bootes to other
users, but that namespace i can't export it towards the terminal.
Furthermore,from fileserver, i tried to export a namespace by doing:
srvfs -d spy /tmp
so it display the issue only on it;  from terminal i can import
services from filesever by doing:
import -a servername '#s' /username/tmp
but i can't see /srv/spy, i see all other things but not the last
created.
how can i do it?o where did i wrong?
thanks in advance for your replays,
bye,
Armando.

why not use cpu to do this?

namespaces are not lexically bound.  i think you'll
find that srvfs is in a namespace that can't see the result
of the import.  if instead you do the import before the
srvfs, i think you'll see the expected result.

Thanks a lot Eric for your response...
I did it as you said and the result was what i expected..
Now i have other problems with connections from terminal to diskless
cpuserver, but i already started a new post, so maybe we'll see
there...thanks
