Hi,
I've lately been getting some strange nfs mount requests for non existant users' home directories on a F14 machine to my file server (CentOS).

The message log on the file server shows the following

May 23 03:10:53 data mountd[4835]: can't stat exported dir /export/home/httpd: No such file or directory
May 24 03:21:13 data mountd[4835]: can't stat exported dir /export/home/httpd: No such file or directory
May 25 03:26:53 data mountd[4835]: can't stat exported dir /export/home/httpd: No such file or directory

May 28 09:21:52 data mountd[4835]: can't stat exported dir /export/home/data: No such file or directory

I cannot find anything in the logs on the F14 machine that indicates a mount request to the file server, but then I am not an expert on nfs.

The users does not exists on the F14 machine, and I've run rpm -Va (verify all) and have not gotten any indications that rouge packages are installed. The F14 machine is auto patched so I'm up to speed with updates.

Does anybody have a clue on what's going on?

What's in /etc/exports ?

The exports on the file server looks like this

/export/home 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0(rw,root_squash,async,insecure)

The home directories are automounted via autofs. The auto.home config looks like this

* data.xxx.yyy:/export/home/&
