ok, here goes:

after the lucid server upgrade, situation was identical, karmic and lucid 32-bit clients had duplicate exports. lucid 64-bit client worked flawlessly.

took out fsid=0, and everything went back to normal

(rw,sync,crossmnt,no_subtree_check) instead of (rw,fsid=0,sync,crossmnt,no_subtree_check)

fsid=0 has the meaning of identifying the export as root. Multiple exports cannot be made this way. What I suggest is that a warning should be given by exportfs when using multiple fsid=0 export entries.

Technically this does not seem to be a bug, but a nagging annoyance caused by the parser being unprotected against inherited malpractice, so turning into one.

I would like to hear your opinion on this, particularly the developer's opinion.

All the best
