Trouble w/ NFS server

[hookahmasta]

I have a Suse 9.2 Linux server, running its own NFS server, invoked by /etc/init.d . For some reason, when I add certain directories in /etc/exports, then running /etc/init.d/nfsserver restart to re-start the NFS server, it would not start. It would get stuck at the starting NFS server message, and will not go further. I made sure the syntax is correct.... here's my /etc/exports file:

srv/www *(rw,root_squash,sync)
#/services *(ro,root_squash,sync)

As you see, I have the one that's giving me trouble commented out, but when I take the # off, and tried to restart the NFS server, I have this problem.

Yes, I am a relative n00b when it comes to these things, so any help would be appreciated.

I don't know enough about NFS triage to be much help, but if your /services folder is a result of using DJB's daemontools kit, you may be headed for trouble. His progs don't really care for NFS mounted files. Something to consider....

Can we get a 'df -k /services;ls -ld /services' it would help a lot in trying to diagnose this. Also any errors thrown in /var/log/messages would help.
