In particular - and this is something I'm seeing too - =20 changing the exports file or reloading mountd gives the following in =20 messages log: Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /tmp: =20 Invalid argument Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /usr: =20 Cross-device link Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /var: =20 Cross-device link Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /export/=20= home: Cross-device link Feb 19 18:58:09 anduin mountd[38867]: can't delete exports for /opt: =20 Cross-device link Can this be related?
