Yes, I'm going to get to work on the exports problem. I seem to recall
some test wanting an export to be the root of a fs, but it's not
immediately obvious to me why this needs to be the case. Two separate
exports would get distinct superblocks on the client side, so even if
the inode numbers overlapped there wouldn't be a problem.

Individual ncpfs volumes should be exportable using its dirEntNum
values, and with some mapping perhaps you could handle multiple volumes?
If there's a way to query the server for the range of direntnums,
couldn't you use a volume prefix to map them into 32 bits?
