If the filer has multiple volumes, you must export each volume separately; you cannot
export all volumes by specifying
/vol
as the exported directory.

The following lines show how to export the volumes on a filer that has three volumes:
/vol/vol0 -root=filer, -access=mixer:blender
/vol/users -root=filer, -access=mixer:blender
/vol/builds -root=filer, -access=mixer:blender

The following line shows an invalid entry for the /etc/exports directory for a filer that
has three volumes; /vol cannot be used by itself as a path:
/vol -root=filer, -access=blender:mixer

To export directories to hosts, the filer must be able to resolve host names into IP
addresses. Host name resolution can take place
through DNS name resolution
by using the /etc/hosts file on the filer root volume
Refer to Host Name Resolution in Chapter 4 for more information about
host-name-to-IP-address resolution.

Neither the filer nor NFS provide a way to specify hosts that cannot mount the filer. To
restrict access to exports, you must export volumes and directories in a manner that
specifically includes those hosts that should be allowed to mount them. Exclusion
occurs when a host is not specifically included in the list of hosts authorized to mount
exported volumes and directories.

The filer permits directories that have exported ancestors to be exported. In many
implementations of the UNIX operating system, you cannot export a directory that
has an exported ancestor in the same file system.
