Jumpstart and Linux NFS

UNIX Solaris
1

A simple question about nfs and jumpstart
,i setup server (all on linux)
tftp ok # boot and reach menu grub,and start
nfs not ok
i did

/export/solaris 192.168.0.0/24(ro,no_root_squash,anonuid=0,anongid=0)

and on solaris i put config with sysidcfg,profile,etc
When solaris boot from net it ask for configuration(so is ignoring profile and sysidcfg)because doesn't mount the resource.
:frowning:

I set up new profile sysidcfg,etc
and now solaris works perfect but only on solaris server
if i use linux it works,get rules,profile but exit with this error

 "impossible to  load /cdrom"

i use on export nfs

/export/solaris

192.168.0.0/24(ro,wdelay,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,anonuid=0,sec=sys,ro,secure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)
/export/jumpstart
        192.168.0.0/24(ro,wdelay,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sec=sys,ro,secure,no_root_squash,no_all_squash)

Solution found.
Using nfs4 with those settings

/export         192.168.0.0/24(fsid=0,ro,no_root_squash,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,sync)
/export/solaris         192.168.0.0/24(ro,no_root_squash,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,sync)
/export/jumpstart       192.168.0.0/24(ro,no_root_squash,crossmnt,no_subtree_check,sync)

and must important,cdrom is mounted instead of copied

You need an export for each local file system.
You need the 3 exports if

df /export /export/solaris /export/jumpstart

shows 3 different file systems.
In case there are common file systems, it's enough to export the common file system with the shortest path - its sub-directories are mountable, too.
