Does the MIPS box have the /proc/fs/nfsd/ filesystem mounted? Perhaps you could try 1) running exportfs under strace. I suggest strace -o /tmp/s.log -s 1024 exportfs ... 2) AND enabling kernel debug messages rpcdebug -m nfsd -s export rpcdebug -m rpc -s cache -- Greg Banks, R&D Software Engineer, SGI Australian Software Group. The cake is *not* a lie. I don't speak for SGI. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
