exportfs(7)            Mac OS X Darwin ZSH customization           exportfs(7)



NAME
       exportfs  -  export  NFS  filesystems listed in /etc/exports and/or the
       NetInfo database.


SYNOPSIS
       sudo exportfs


DESCRIPTION
       exportfs is a function that emulates (crudely) the exportfs -a  command
       on  canonical  unix  systems.   Mac  OS  X  does  not currently have an
       exportfs command.  This makes a minimal attempt at filling the gap.

       If exportfs finds something to export (either using /etc/exports or the
       exports  NetInfo  directory), then start the NFS daemons (which service
       NFS requests) and the mount server (which services NFS mount requests).

       Parts  of  this  come  from Apple's NFS startup file, modified by W. G.
       Scott and many important improvements were then added by Gary Kerbaugh.
       Specifically,  the  script  now  checks  for successful outcome of disk
       arbitration, which can take  awhile  for  really  big  disks  and  RAID
       devices.

       This  is  a stopgap replacement for exportfs, which is not available on
       OS X.  If the user has in fact installed it, or if it  appears  in  the
       future,  this  script  warns  the user and gives her or him a chance to
       bail.
