At first that seems the logically correct order but suppose a client succeeds in mounting something but issues NFS requests before nfsd got started on the server? where's the exportfs?

Also consider a dead-again server at every point in the startup sequence. -- Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
