>Description:

Since some revision after r231239, mountd fails to work inside a chroot started by an mfsroot preloaded image's init.

>How-To-Repeat:
Load a mfsroot preloaded image from loader.conf and set init_chroot=/system. /system is a zfs boot filesystem and has other zfs filesystems (e.g. /etc, /bin, /lib, /libexec, ... ) mounted under its subdirectories. Boot this and export filesystem under /system.

I think there is some changes to make mountd to work with jail and these changes make mountd lookup the exports path outside init_chroot instead of inside init_chroot. Therefore, it gives the following error messages:

Dec 31 21:33:45 ------- mountd[1990]: can't export /export 
Dec 31 21:33:45 ------- mountd[1990]: bad exports list line /export

>Fix:

The export files and sharenfs parameters works when mountd is not inside init_chroot system. But, it is sometimes useful to have an init_chroot system. So, it would be nice if this can get a proper fix from the source.
