Hi,

NFS exported options (like -maproot, -ro, ...) are stored only for
each mount point.

This makes it impossible to have for example:

        /usr/home
        /usr/src        -ro

if home and src are just subdirectories of /usr (which would be a
mount point). The options must be the same for all the subdirectories
of a mount point.

Are you sure you didn't add some different option to one of those
lines, thus hitting the problem/feature ;-) I describe?
