NFS is not working in ubuntu 12.04

I've tried to install NFS but I cannot pass through this step where I configure /etc/exports

The file looks as follows:

/home/MYUSER/Documents 192.168.0.2(rw, sync, no_subtree_check)

But when I restart the nfs-kernel-server or run exportfs -ra the following appears:

* Stopping NFS kernel daemon                                            [ OK ] 
* Unexporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...                      [ OK ] 
* Exporting directories for NFS kernel daemon...                               exportfs: /etc/exports:1: syntax error: bad option list
                                                                     [fail]

Your exports syntax is incorrect – you cannot have any spaces in the option list. Try:

/home/MYUSER/Documents 192.168.0.2(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

I almost cry, thanks a lot, I've been trying this for several hours :') – poz2k4444 – 2012-10-11T17:54:13.573

Thanks. I wasted my time for this. I think this is a stupid restriction. Almost all languages, scripts ignore whitespaces... – Damn Vegetables – 2014-06-17T05:05:17.503
