First, I take back my comment that "-o mountvers=2" is of little use.
If you build a kernel without CONFIG_NFS_V3 (why?) then you must
pass that option to mount.


If you have another Linux system you could try mounting /exports there.
Or you could try have the host mount its own exported fs, e.g.

  % su                    # on "Debian-2.2 nfs-kernel-server"
  % vi /etc/exports
    /home 127.0.0.1(rw)   # add this loopback export of home or whatever

  % exportfs -ra          # re-export filesystems (maybe you've not done this?)
  % mkdir /hometest
  % mount -t nfs 127.0.0.1:/home /hometest
  % df

Now you can be assured that you're exporting from your host system.
