/etc/init.d/nfs start only runs exportfs -r when the following condition hold: /etc/init.d/nfs:91: if grep -qs '^[[:space:]]*/' /etc/exports /etc/exports.d/*.exports ; then This appears to have the purpose of skipping exportfs -r when there are no exports defined. It fails when all exports are defined with quoted paths. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create /etc/exports: "/home/bspot/a dir with spaces" 172.28.128.4(rw) 2. Run /etc/init.d/nfs start 3. Observe that the output is *missing* the line * Exporting NFS directories ... [ ok ] 4. Run exportfs and observe that the output is empty. Possible fix: Replace /etc/init.d/nfs:91 with if grep -qs '^[[:space:]]*[^#]' /etc/exports /etc/exports.d/*.exports ; then

A pound sign ("#") introduces a comment to the end of the line. Entries may be continued across newlines using a backslash. If an export name contains spaces it should be quoted using double quotes. You can also specify spaces or other unusual character in the export name using a backslash followed by the character code as three octal digits. Thus, allow an optional single double-quote character before the /.
