Package: nfs-user-server
Version: 2.2beta47-23
Severity: minor

nfs-user-server does not allow to export a tmpfs (clients get
"Permission denied") unless rpc.mountd is started with -r.

>From man rpc.mountd:
...
       -r or --re-export
              Allow imported NFS or SMB file-systems to be exported.  This can
              be  used  to turn a machine into an NFS/SMB multiplier.  Caution
              should be used when re-exporting  loopback  mounts  because  re-
              entering  the  mount  point  will result in deadlock between the
              client file system code and the server.
...

So it thinks that my tmpfs-based /tmp is an 'imported filesystem'?
