Subject: message : NFS: problem in nfs4 mounting

Hi ,
(RHEL4 GA on both client and server machines)
I started all the nfs daemons including
rpc.gssd and rpc.idmapd and exported /share
to client.I also started rpc.gssd and
rpc.idmapd on client

Server exports /share to world.
when client tried to mount /share using

mount -t nfs4 <server>:/share /client_mnt_point
Following message occur in log.

NFS :mount path /share does not exist.
NFS :suggestion : try mounting '/' instead

Then i tried

mount -t nfs4 <server>:/ /client_mnt_point

and surprisingly it worked.

When i had exported /share (it exists) how did
client mount / and why did it give error when i
tried mounting /share.

Pleae let me know ?

thanks
-- kiran
