NFS quesiton /etc/exports contains 1 table ; exportfs produces another


Hey Guys,
I am running some tests on one RHEL x86_64 5.6 machine.

-bash-3.2# uname -a
Linux fqdn.domain.com 2.6.18-238.5.1.el5 #1 SMP Mon Feb 21 05:52:39 EST 2011 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
-bash-3.2# rpm -qa | grep nfs
nfs-utils-lib-1.0.8-7.6.el5
nfs-utils-1.0.9-50.el5
system-config-nfs-1.3.23-1.el5


My current /etc/exports file looks like this :
/boot/jumpstart *(ro,no_root_squash,async)
/boot/js-x86 *(ro,no_root_squash,async)

Why is it that when i do exportfs i see additional entries (which were probably added before i changed the /etc/exports file ? Why didn`t those entries go away once I edited the /etc/exports file & restarted all nfs services. Those entries should no longer be used IMO.Where can i find them if i want to remove them ? I recall some xtab file but i couldnt find any information there.

-bash-3.2# exportfs
/dist/rhat
theword-prov

/boot/jumpstart
<world>
/boot/js-x86
<world>

I also saw a couple of interesting error messages when restarting the nfs services:
-bash-3.2# service portmap start
Starting portmap: [ OK ]
-bash-3.2# service nfs start
FATAL: Module nfsd not found.
FATAL: Error running install command for nfsd
Starting NFS services: [ OK ]
Starting NFS quotas: [ OK ]
Starting NFS daemon: [ OK ]
Starting NFS mountd: [ OK ]
-bash-3.2# service nfslock start
FATAL: Module lockd not found.
Starting NFS statd: [ OK ]

Ok i have found why it displays this strange entry. Its because i have it in the /etc/hosts file.
I have also found why nfs didnt start up properly.
I had to ps -ef | grep nfs
for the process id and stop it.
And then i checked /etc/init.d/rpcidmapd status
and stopped it. Please close the thread!
