In mountd(8), it states that you must use the -r arg to mountd and
export your entire filesystem with -alldirs. Have you done both?
-r Allow mount RPCs requests for regular files to be served. Al-
though this seems to violate the mount protocol specification,
some diskless workstations do mount requests for their swapfiles
and expect them to be regular files. Since a regular file cannot
be specified in /etc/exports, the entire file system in which the
swapfiles resides will have to be exported with the -alldirs
flag.
BTW - mail to <grios@GABRIEL.netshell.com.br bounces:
550 <grios@GABRIEL.netshell.com.br>... Host unknown (Name server: gabriel.netshell.com.br.: host not found)
