However, when more than one filesystem is specified on a single line, mountd emits an error to syslog and does not export either filesystem. syslog message is; "bad exports list line" followed by the filesystems specified. >How-To-Repeat: In my case, /usr/ports and /usr/src are different filesystems. These filesystem are exported from machine willow to machines spike, harmony, and dawn. In file willow:/etc/exports: /usr/ports -maproot=0 spike, harmony, dawn /usr/src -maproot=0 spike, harmony, dawn Filesystems are exported correctly. Edit willow:/etc/exports to contain: /usr/ports /usr/src -maproot=0 spike, harmony, dawn Signal mountd with: # kill -s HUP `cat /var/run/mountd.pid tail /var/log/messages to find Jun 7 10:16:10 willow mountd[388]: bad exports list line /usr/ports /usr/src >Fix: exports(5 and Chapter 23.3 in FreeBSD Handbook should be updated to reflect current behavior of mountd(8), unless it would be easier/better to change mountd(8)'s behavior back to match documentation. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
