Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way on my machine. I have correctly
mounted the vfat at /w98 now using your assistance below. The remaining
issue is NFS exporting. If the subdirs of / to be exported are
different physical partitions than /, then they don't export with /.
Example, the server "ting" has the vfat mounted on /w98:
ting:/home/user1 # cat /etc/exports
/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure)
Now on the client machine "tong" I have in /etc/fstab:
ting:/w98 /ting nfs noauto,rw,hard,intr,user,exec 0 0
Now the client does:
user1@tong:~ $ mount /ting
user1@tong:~ $ l /ting
bin dev home lost+found mnt proc s73 srv tong var w98d
boot etc lib media opt root sbin tmp usr w98
user1@tong:~ $ l /ting/w98
user1@tong:~ $
Notice that it doesn't see anything that's mounted under ting:/w98
When I change the server /etc/exports to:
/ 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw,insecure)
/w98 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0(rw)
Then add to the client /etc/fstab:
ting:/w98 /ting-w98 nfs noauto,rw,hard,intr,user,exec 0 0
user1@tong:~ $ mount /ting-w98
user1@tong:~ $ l /ting-w98
Program Files config.sys netlog.txt system.1st
Temp detlog.txt recycled unpack
autoexec.bat frunlog.txt scandisk.log windows[etc]
The same behavior takes place with CDROM mounts, who's mountpoints as
subdirs of / don't export with /, and must be explicitly mentioned in
/etc/exports.

Yes. This gets the partition mounted on the server so that all have r/w
access. Good.

But this part doesn't work, as described above, I must explicitly export
the /w98 mountpoint of the vfat to be able to nfs mount it on the client.
Can you explain what is going on with this?
Thanks for your input.
Good day!
