If you place them both on the same line, or comment out the first, the second will be allowed. My guess is that this has something to do with the subdirectory-checking code. >How-To-Repeat: Create two directories anywhere, say: /usr/nfs and /usr/nfsshare and export them both. Then try to mount /usr/nfsshare on another client. It will fail. Comment out the /usr/nfs line and try again (after restarting mountd) and you will be able to mount it. >Fix: Workaround: If you need to mount them both to one set of clients, put them on the same line, otherwise, no solution. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
