A recent bug was reported related to mountd and the
"automounted" flag.

Loosely related to this is the question...
Should automounted file systems be exportable?

I haven't tested it, but I suspect that it would be
broken and the NFS server will reply NFSERR_STALE
after the file system has been dismounted.

So, should I patch mountd so that it won't export
automounted file systems?

Thanks for any comments, rick
