Subject: strange nfs behavior in 2.2.18 and 2.4.0-test12

Hi.  I am having strange nfs problems in both my 2.x and 2.4.0-test12
kernels.

What is happening is that when the machine boots up and exports the
directories for nfs, it complains that

ccs2:/ invalid argument .

The exports entry is

/ ccs2(rw,no_root_squash)

Now in Kernel 2.2.18, if I stop and restart the nfs daemons, all is
OK, the invalid argument goes away, but in 2.4.0 I cannot get this to
work at all and so I cannot mount nfs from a client on the ccs2 box.
I am using the utilities 0.2.1-4 from the Debian distribution if that
makes any difference.  I did an strace once on exportfs and it was
having trouble with the call to nfsservctl which returns invalid argument.


Any assistance would be appreciated.
