Re: mounting DVDs via NFS problem

[Piers Kittel <debian@biased.org>]

Have fixed the problem as NFS can't export UDF filesystems so mounted 
the DVD as ISO9660 and it worked.  Will keep "exportfs -a" in mind 
though as sometimes it won't play back the DVD via NFS unless I play 
about with exportfs a lot.

Thanks!

Cheers - Piers
