Hi Glenn, My /etc/exports file has the line:
/srv/roachfs 192.168.1.0/24(rw,subtree_check,no_root_squash,insecure) I think you should only have the one line that exports /srv/roach_boot, without the etch. If that doesn't work, I would try seeing if I could mount /srv/roach_boot on a different computer.
