Following a suggestion in the Arch Linux Wiki:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NFSv4#Exports
I made this minor edit to /etc/exports on weather (the server)
Old /etc/exports:
/ amito(rw,no_root_squash)
/home/jonrysh amito(rw,no_root_squash)
New /etc/exports:
/ amito(rw,fsid=0,no_root_squash)
/home/jonrysh amito(rw,no_root_squash)
Note that the addition of "fsid=0" to the entry for the root directory
allows *both* the root and a directory under it to be exported. To
understand this better, read the following section in the Arch Linux
Wiki: Exporting directories outside your NFS root
All very subtle, and undocumented.
