| See,my requirement is to export my block device over network in such
a way so that some of the client can do write operation and some of
themcan only do read operation on that block device. Once Iexported my
block device for a particular acl(particular mac) for write operation
how can I manage it for only read acess for other client? How is it
possible? Please tell.

I have exported my block devicein following manner:

./ggaoed -c ggaoed.conf -d  ( in conf file : /dev/sda3 device was used
with 0 0 eth0. )
I tried to export that block device /dev/sda3 to export with 0 1 eth0
using another conf file and I was not able to do it. It shows me
device or resource busy coz /dev/sda3 is already exported and it is
mounted on some client machine for r/w operation. I  want to export
this device for some of more client for read operation. How can I do
it ? Please help.


Thanks and best regards,
Krishna
