Description dima 2000-12-30 05:30:01 UTC 
A lot of people new to configuring NFS servers misunderstand the
exports(5) manual page when it talks about how the first parameter on
each line is a filesystem mount point rather than a directory.  This
FAQ entry attempts to clear that up a little bit.

Fix: Apply the following patch to doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml.

The actual content was written by
Crist J. Clark <cjclark@reflexnet.net>.  I only did the markup.  Please
credit him in the commit log (see: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=227336+231212+/usr/local/www/db/text/2000/freebsd-doc/20001217.freebsd-doc).
How-To-Repeat: 
Read freebsd-questions for a while.  Look for new users frustrated
because they get weird errors when they try to export the same
filesystem twice.
