[Bug 848823] Re: mounting of nfs shares fails and must restart nfs-kernel-server

[Tim]

I thought it was happening randomly however it does actually appear to happen after rebooting the server. I do notice some errors on boot 
relating to exportfs but I can't find them in any logs (or get a chance to actually read what they say).


options on client in fstab are 'nfs rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr'
manually trying to mount from client results in this error
"mount.nfs: access denied by server while mounting"

options in /etc/exports are '(rw,no_subtree_check)'

restarting nfs-kernel-server after I have booted up results in this error
"exportfs: scandir /etc/exports.d: No such file or directory"

however everything does work fine afterwards
