NFS exporting is supported in Linux kernels 2.6.27 or later.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You need to add an fsid=NNN option to /etc/exports to make exporting a
|
||
|
|
FUSE directory work.

|
|
Filesystem support
|
||
|
|
------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
NFS exporting works to some extent on all fuse filesystems, but not
|
||
|
|
perfectly. This is due to the stateless nature of the protocol, the
|
||
|
|
server has no way of knowing whether the client is keeping a reference
|
||
|
|
to a file or not, and hence that file may be removed from the server's
|
||
|
|
cache. In that case there has to be a way to look up that object
|
||
|
|
using the inode number, otherwise an ESTALE error will be returned.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1) low-level interface
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Filesystems need to implement special lookups for the names "." and
|
||
|
|
"..". The former may be requested on any inode, including
|
||
|
|
non-directories, while the latter is only requested for directories.
|
||
|
|
Otherwise these special lookups should behave identically to ordinary
|
||
|
|
lookups.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2) high-level interface
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Because the high-level interface is path based, it is not possible to
|
||
|
|
delegate looking up by inode to the filesystem.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To work around this, currently a "noforget" option is provided, which
|
||
|
|
makes the library remember nodes forever. This will make the NFS
|
||
|
|
server happy, but also results in an ever growing memory footprint for
|
||
|
|
the filesystem. For this reason if the filesystem is large (or the
|
||
|
|
memory is small), then this option is not recommended.
