Last modified: 2017-06-01 15:00:47 EDT
Description of problem: Re-exporting of nfs share gives error "does not support NFS export" message if export directory has space. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Export a directory with contain space in it # cat /etc/exports "/tmp/This is a test" *(rw) 2) Now re-export the nfs share by restarting the nfs service or with "exportfs" command: # service nfs restart Shutting down NFS daemon: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS mountd: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS quotas: [ OK ] Shutting down NFS services: [ OK ] Starting NFS services: exportfs: /tmp/This is a test does not support NFS export [ OK ] Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ] Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ] Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ] OR # exportfs -rv exporting *:/tmp/This is a test exportfs: /tmp/This is a test does not support NFS export exporting *:/data 3) But the NFS share gets exports properly and also on client system mounting is successful. # showmount -e <NFS_SERVER_IP> Export list for <NFS_SERVER_IP>: /tmp/This is a test * # mount "<NFS_SERVER_IP>:/tmp/This is a test" /mnt -vv mount: no type was given - I'll assume nfs because of the colon mount: trying <NFS_SERVER_IP> prog 100003 vers 3 prot tcp port 2049 mount: trying <NFS_SERVER_IP> prog 100005 vers 3 prot udp port 50097 # mount | grep -i nfs <NFS_SERVER_IP>:/tmp/This is a test on /mnt type nfs (rw,addr=<NFS_CLIENT_IP>) Expected results: Need to ignore/remove the message "does not support NFS export" while re-exporting the nfs share even if export directory has space in it.
