Out of "easy of use" sake, should any and all files that exist in that directory be expected to be exports files? I don't know if that's the best way to do it, but I think it would be useful to have a way to keep files in the directory that don't get automatically read. As an analogy, I have the following files in my /etc/init: portmap.conf This is the real one that gets used portmap.conf~ This is a backup file produced by emacs portmap.conf-20100603 This is the file that came with my distro Only the first one gets used, which is what I want, because it's the only one ending in ".conf". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
