Problem:
I have an NFS server that fails to export directories on boot. Once booted I can ssh in and start the server manually.
I have set all owner:group and permissions to be very "permissive, so as to avoid any permissions problems, these will be locked down later, when I have the problem fixed.
NOTE:
This server is not accessible from outside my lan.

So I can start the service manually, but it will not start at boot.

(Obviously lost+found is NOT shared. The owner:group and permissions are set recursively)
I can provide any additional info requested.
