The /var/log/messages files says:
mountd[41]: Not root dir
mountd[41]: Bad exports list line /opt/nc -alldirs
Without the "-alldirs" the directory mounts fine. I'm
trying to boot a network computer off of it and it wants to
mount a different directory along the structure, which is
what "-alldirs" is supposed to allow. However, it looks
like it's not really implemented (or I'm an idiot - which
is possible).
