Description of problem: I created an /etc/exports file with /export/referral *(fsid=0,refer=hostname:/some_export) The man page does actually say the syntax is supposed to be /export/referral *(fsid=0,refer=/some_export@hostname) question is why are we throwing eons of nfs syntax out the window? Hasn't it always been hostname:export ? At the very least if the 'wrong' syntax is given there needs to be some error message that it isn't going to work rather than just silently failing. Please add 'normal' syntax if possible and if not, at least give me an error that there was something wrong.
