dlite has not been installed on this machine before.

❯ dlite init

what's the contents of your /etc/exports file?

[herrbischoff]

# BEGIN: dlite
/Users -network 192.168.64.0 -mask 255.255.255.0 -alldirs -maproot=root:wheel
# END: dlite

[nlf]

old exports, sorry about that. that file is a particularly difficult one to manage. clear it out so it's an empty file, save and exit, then re-run dlite init and you should be all set

[herrbischoff]

I have just deleted the entries from the file, ran dlite again and this time, installation works:

❯ dlite init

The daemon never got installed I guess. ;)

[nlf]

yeah, i should make failure to add the export a non-critical error so that it continues the installation and you can fix the exports later

[herrbischoff]

Sounds good. A message with the line to be added would be nice for copy and paste.

[herrbischoff]

Also: I could have sworn that dlite has never been installed on this machine before. Still, the /etc/exports clearly showed the opposite was the case.

Thanks for your quick response! Now it's working.
