Hello Andrey,

I hope these 'errors' in the exports file only mean syntactical errors?
For example, I have a /vol partition mounted on my NFS server, which is
exported via NFS. Now, sometimes /vol is mounted, sometimes it is not
mounted (on the server). This will generate some warnings from mountd,
as it can't export the /vol filesystem, but mountd still works the same.
Once /vol becomes available, I don't even need to restart mountd, it
will simply pick up /vol and make it available.

I hope these semantics will remain? (No sorry, I didn't not test your
patch yet).

Which is worse: ignorance or apathy?
Don't know. Don't care.
