NFS export a NFS share

nfs

I already have a NFS share mounted on my server A from a remote server Server-Remote. (/mnt/nfs_share)

On server A I installed and run the NFS server service and now I want to export the above share to another server B on the network.

After edit /etc/exports and run exportfs -a on server A I got the below error message:


exportfs: /mnt/nfs_share does not support NFS export

So is it possible to nfs export an existing NFS share? kind of like a NFS relay or forward?

Best Answer

It is not possible to reexport NFS mounts. You can export an NFS mount via SMB however if that works for you.
