CentOS 7 NFS

I mounted the shared but when I try to enable NFS service I keep getting following error -

[root@FCNAS /]# service nfs start
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl start nfs.service
Job for nfs-server.service failed. See 'systemctl status nfs-server.service' and 'journalctl -xn' for details.
[root@FCNAS /]# systemctl status nfs-server.service

On Putty session it shows following error -

Looks like a bad syntax in /etc/exports. Please post the content of that file.

HTH,

share directory is in /mnt/VDPNFS/NFSshasre. I was able to get VDPNFS mounted and access it from ESX. I may have to change 10.0.0.0/24(rw,sync,no_all_sqash,no_root_squash) to list of ESX IP address and vcenter in 4 lines instead of letting it accessed by entire network.

Thanks for your help it was spelling mistake on sqash that was squashing me.

One more thing that I was surprised with is the 12 tb partition on Centos showing as only 10.82 tb. It chews more than a 1 tb to present as datastore in VMFS

I don't use VMware, so I have no idea.
