No. Maybe I should have said pseudo-filesystem but it is not the subtree check feature (which, AFAIK, is not nfsv4-specific). In nfsv4, if you add the fsid=0 or fsid=root option to an export like /robert/day on nfssrv, the client has to mount /robert/day as nfssrv:/ Maybe, if you export /robert, it is assumed to have an fsid=root option tacked on and you have to mount /robert as nfssrv:/ -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
