knfsd-980920 xtab / exportfs problems

Hello,

I'm currently trying to get knfsd-980920 up with RH 5.1. I applied the
patch to 2.1.122, the kernel-daemons run ok. I`m having some
problems right now:

1. When exporting from /etc/exports to multiple clients, only the first
client of an export gets an entry in xtab. Further clients are ignored:

/etc/exports
/home zeus(rw) iris2(rw) catia1(rw) catia2(rw) catia3(rw)

In this case only zeus will get the mount.

2. Adding entries to xtab looks broken, no matter using hostnames or IP:

[root@achilles nfs]# cat xtab
/home
3.5(ro,sync,wdelay,secure,root_squash,no_all_squash,mapping=identity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2)
/home
192.168.3.4(rw,sync,wdelay,secure,root_squash,no_all_squash,mapping=identity,anonuid=-2,anongid=-2)

The second entry was the first export, the upper line was created with

kexportfs -v 192.168.3.2:/home

When using hostnames, they are messy the same way.

3. When restarting the NFS server the daemons lose RPC registration.

[root@achilles init.d]# ./rc.nfsd restart
Restarting NFS services: rpc.kmountd rpc.kstatddone.
[root@achilles init.d]# showmount
mount clntudp_create: RPC: Program not registered

After a reboot it works again.

If I could get the knfsd running, I would test serving AIX clients using
lockd.

cu, Steffen Rheinhold
