I don't know if I can help but here's an attempt. I have about 30
Debian systems some SGIs and a few Suns at work with NFS running well.
When you edit your /etc/exports file on a Linux system you need to
tell rpc.nfsd and rpc.mountd to re-read it. You do this by sending
them a HUP signal. I use this command:
killall -HUP rpc.nfsd rpc.mountd
Rebooting should work too but is much slower. If this doesn't work,
carefully check your /etc/exports file while reading the "exports" man
page to be sure it's correct.
Good luck...
