    An update to this, when I tried to start and stop mountd by hand, I got
    an error from mountd saying it couldn't export the mount point when I had
    the line:

     /mnt/oldhome 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3

    but not when I changed the line to:

    /mnt 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.3

    Also, everytime I got that error there was a kernel message generated
    about ext2fs not supporting the old mount system call so I think the
    problem is definitely in the ext2 filesystem code. Is this a bug or
    just a feature not supported by the ext2 filesystem. If it's just a
    bug, is there any way around it?

I sense much NT in you.
NT leads to Bluescreen.
Bluescreen leads to downtime.
Downtime leads to suffering.
NT is the path to the darkside.
