Exporting a samba share as NFS share


Guys,
Linux newbie here trying to export a samba share as an NFS share.

Yesterday, we setup a RHEL6 server and also setup Samba which is working great. Now our developers are wanting a server named "svn-svr" to mount under /net. Apparently they had a previous server that did this and want this functionality back.

From what I've been told I need to export a samba share as a NFS share?

I have installed the nfs-utils package and created a /etc/exports file and restarted the nfsc service. I'm not quite sure where to go from here though. Any advice? Tia.

Contents of /etc/exports:
Code:
/data *(rw,sync)
/dev_data *(rw,sync)
The developers want /dev_data and /data to show up under /net of their host machine.

well wherever they mount it is up to them, and nothign at all to do with Samba. Check a decent standard doc like http://nfs.sourceforge.net/nfs-howto/

if you've restarted the service, can they mount it? No point troubleshooting anything if it might be working just fine already.
