At this point and the last few bits shown, you either messed something up
in the transpositions, or it's obvious what the mistake is. Under the line
above:
when I try to set up exports:
[[EMAIL PROTECTED] /root].......
you show that you are located on 192.168.2.1 and trying to export from
192.168.2.2, which won't work. If thta's what you have in the exports file
on 192.168.2.1 the problem is solved by fixing that conflict.

On mine I use something like:
192.168.0.4:/ /server nfs noauto,rw,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,timeo=14,intr
That works fine for everything. I also put "0 0" on the ends, since I don't
want fstab to signal that those partitions should be fsck'd by the wrong
system.

If what I pointed out is true, this would be the expected result because
192.168.2.1 never tried to export its own /usr directory in the first
place. And it isn't allowed to export the directory for another system.

True, this would also be expected.

This would not. I'd like to see the whole fstab for this. This couldn't
work if the cd drive is actually mounted on the other computer.
I just tried what you have shown above. It fails every time (as I already
knew it should).

Either this never worked, you mistyped the above repeatedly, or you copied
the exports file from 192.168.2.2 and didn't change addressing in the file.
If it's mistyped, I had a similar problem untill I changed a few
permissions, rebooted, restarted nfs and nfslock, all several times. I have
no idea what fixed it. Tweaking didn't because I never changed anything.
