Looks like that might be a bug in the patch I sent you, which I fixed
before I sent it upstream. Could you try this (against 2.6.19)
instead and confirm that it fixes all problems? thanks.

What version were you using? I would really like to know.

Yes, it is a case of "don't break userspace interface" - at least not
without suitable warning and good reason. So I want the old nfs-utils
to still work. (We might deprecate the old interface one day, but not
yet).

-----------------------------------
Fix up some bit-rot in exp_export
The nfsservctl systemcall isn't used but recent nfs-utils releases for
exporting filesystems, and consequently the code that is uses -
exp_export - has suffered some bitrot.
Particular:
- some newly added fields in 'struct svc_export' are being initialised
properly.
- the return value is now always -ENOMEM ...
This patch fixes both these problems.
