The machine OaklandWeather is set up to export some directories to the machine amito. But when OaklandWeather is restarted the export is lost. Running "# exportfs -a" restores the export and the desired files can be seen by amito.

Some Details:

root@OaklandWeather# cat /etc/exports

# /etc/exportfs created by Jon : Fri 2021-11-05 02:33:51 PM PDT

# / amito(rw,no_subtree_check,no_root_squash)

/ amito(rw)

/home amito(rw)

The problem seems to happen because nfs is started before amito can be resolved:

Nov 07 07:37:42 OaklandWeather.localdomain systemd[1]: Starting nfs-server.service - NFS server and services...
Nov 07 07:37:42 OaklandWeather.localdomain exportfs[1074]: exportfs: Failed to resolve amito

When OaklandWeather is running, amito can be resolved without difficulty:

[jonrysh@oaklandweather ~]$ ping amito
PING amito(fe80::eaa3:138b:df4f:7e60%enp4s0) 56 data bytes
