Re: NFS fails to start

Hello,

finally got a chance to reinstall the whole server, I have no done it 
twice, last thing was to use ext3 instead of ext4 (just a wild guess). 
But I still the same error.

I guess I need to change the whole server. But this has worked, I just 
can't understand what the problem is.
