Re: Why won't ext3 & 2.4.19 export the root?

[John Lange]

Further to this issue, here is the output from exportfs -vr

---- snip ----

# exportfs -vr
exporting 205.x.x.x:/var/www
exporting 205.x.x.x:/
reexporting 205.x.x.x:/var/www to kernel
exporting 205.x.x.x:/ to kernel
205.x.x.x:/: Invalid argument

--- snip ---
Any help would be apreciated.

Thanks
