CIFS share re-export NFS

Hi Guys,

need help here.

i have windows server that share a folder C:/ABCDE

i configure samba client in AIX server as /EDCBA and it working fine.

then i want to share this /EDCBA to another AIX server using NFS.
in the /etc/exportfs i have put
/EDCBA -sec=sys,rw,access=serverAIX2:serverAIX3:serverAIX4:serverAIX5

showmount -e show that everything is ok. but when i mount the nfs it unable to mount.

i did try few mount option some of the errors is :

mount: /EDCBA is not a known file system
and some of it no errors but when i do df -k, i cannot see the mountpoint mounted.

is it possible to be done using above method ? because i doubt, but i need a confirmation.

Thanks,

Well, a simple answer is you cannot export a CIFS mount as an NFS share just as you cannot share a CIFS mount through CIFS.

First thing about sharing through NFS or CIFS: the filesystem has to be a local one (a file system which resides on a local disk or a LUN); period.

What are you trying to achieve with this anyway?
