Message-ID: <567E812E.2040204@gmail.com> Date: Sat, 26 Dec 2015 17:29:42 +0530 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed Sender: linux-nfs-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: Hi! I'm running nfs-utils without init script or systemd unit assistance. Since I'm using nfsv4, I'm eliminating the need to start mountd. Now if mountd is gone, who populates /proc/fs/nfs/exports? But even after running mountd (after an exportfs -a), this file still does not have any entries. Running rpc.nfsd with -- rpc.nfsd -d --syslog --port 10000 rpc.mountd runs without any arguments.
