Why don't you agree with that?  That's what he's saying.  Each line in
/etc/exports must contain names from one and only one file system.
/DiskLess/usr and /DiskLess/rootfs/altair fulfill this condition, so
mountd doesn't complain about them.  /home /usr and /var don't fulfill
this condition, so mountd complains.  You don't need to include the
mount point of the file system in the entry.
