Subject: mountd and remount error

  Given the following /etc/exports:

mountd|Wed4:44pm} cat /etc/exports
/usr/export/ -maproot=root -alldirs


  And the following output from 'mount':

mountd|Wed4:44pm} mount
/dev/sd2a on / (local)
/dev/sd2e on /usr (local)
/dev/sd2f on /local (local)
/dev/sd1e on /var (local)
procfs on /proc (local)
kernfs on /kern (local, read-only)
/dev/sd0a on /tmp (local)
/dev/sd3a on /jaz (local)
/dev/sd0s1 on /dos/c (local, read-only)
/dev/sd1a on /original (local)
/dev/sd1f on /original/usr (local)

  Why does the following error:

Oct  9 16:39:28 pseudo mountd[1353]: Could not remount /usr/export/:
Invalid argument
Oct  9 16:39:28 pseudo mountd[1353]: Bad exports list line /usr/export/
-maproot

  Show up if mountd is started like 'mountd -r'?

  Thanks.
