Fixed In Version:
Doc Type: Known Issue
Doc Text:
The default option specification is not overridden by the host-specific option in `/etc/exports` When "sec=sys" is used in the default option section of the `/etc/exports` file, the options list that follows is not parsed correctly. As a consequence, the default option cannot be overridden by the host-specific option.

Description Yongcheng Yang 2016-07-22 07:17:31 UTC 
Description of problem:
The default option specification (i.e. ‘ro’) should be overridden by the host-specific option. That’s how it used to work.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.2 with nfs-utils-1.3.0-0.31.el7

How reproducible:
100% easy

Steps to Reproduce:
1. See "Actual results" below.

Actual results:
[root@leira nfs]# cat /etc/exports
/export         -ro,sec=sys,sync        localhost(rw,no_root_squash)
[root@leira nfs]# exportfs -rv
exporting localhost:/export
[root@leira nfs]# mount -t nfs localhost:/export /mnt/nfs
[root@leira nfs]# mkdir /mnt/nfs/gnurr
mkdir: cannot create directory ‘/mnt/nfs/gnurr’: Read-only file system

Note that removing the "sec=sys" above causes the test to succeed.

Expected results:
localhost should have the "rw" right.
