Description Steve Dickson 2005-08-03 23:46:21 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #164186 +++

Description of problem:
exportfs, when re-exporting filesystems, instead unexports them.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL3 U5

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1) On server added the folowing to file  /etc/exports :
   /tmp *(ro)

2) On server restart nfs :
    # service nfs restart

3) On client mount/unmount  (WORKS) :
    # mount server123.redhat.com:/tmp /mnt/tmp
    # umount /tmp/mnt

4) On server re-export /tmp :
    # exportfs -rv
    exporting *:/tmp
    unexporting client123.redhat.com:/tmp from kerne
  
Actual results:
/tmp is not exported in the kernel, and subsequent attempts to mount the file
system from a client result in getfh: permission denied messages on the client
and from rpc.mountd on the server

Expected results:
filesystem should continue to be mount-able.

Additional info:
I'm attaching my patch to correct this.  It appears when re-exporting, the
rebuild of the export database in xtab_read, when reading /proc/fs/nfs/exports,
fails to set the m_mayexport flag, as it does when reading /var/lib/nfs/xtab. 
The result is that exportfs interprets this as a indicator to explicitly
unexport the mount.  The attached patch corrects this, and has been successfully
tested by the customer
