hi fellow FBSD'ers,

I got the following problem with 2.0.5-RELEASE NFS server:

I have 3 disk partitions on my HD, /, /usr, and /xvar.
I want to have 4 exported dirs, /usr/src, /usr/ports,
/xvar/ftp and /xvar/pubhome. 

first, I have set up /etc/exports so only /usr/src and /xvar/ftp
were exported. That was all fine.

then, I have added two more dirs, namely, /usr/ports and /xvar/pubhome.
when I do kill -1 mountd_pid (or just reboot the system), it says: 
(not screenshot, but should be close)

can't change attributes for /usr/ports
bad exports list line /usr/ports [machines where dir in exported to]

and same for /xvar/pubhome.

Am I missing something? (maybe 2.1-STABLE? ;-))

other glitch:

really, I have somewhat nicer names for them, 
like /r/ftp, /r/src.fbsd, etc, and local symlinks on NFS
server, but it seems that FreeBSD cannot export path with symlinks 
(remote mounts of these names work ok - server translates them to real 
names correctly). So now I have to list real paths in /etc/exports
and can use symlinks on clients. Is this corrected in newer versions? 
AFAIK, Solaris can export (`share') symlinks just fine (they appear
resolved in `showmount' output, well).


please Cc: replies to me (I'm not receiving -bugs just now).
