Well, I am on Gentoo as well, and it seems that it is mounted on /proc/fs/nfs.

However `cat /proc/fs/nfs/exports` showed only one of 5 exported dirs on my server.
It has been a few weeks since last restart (and NFS restart).
`/etc/init.d/nfs restart` or `exportfs -a` fixed it.

Had a (first) look at it, but I still cannod understand what is the difference
between the "-r" and "-a" option...
The output on my system from both `exportfs -rv` and `exportfs -av` is the same.
