If you try to start nfsd in a new network namespace, it will be a new instance independent of nfsd running in any other namespace. You would need a filesystem namespace of the various tools to see the /etc/exports that you want it to. I would like it to be easier to configure this, but I'm certain that namespaces are the right way to create a new instance. (It might be nice to allow separate NFSD namespaces in the same network namespace but we'd need clear evidence that using network namespaces causes genuine problems.) NeilBrown
