The problem though is that someone setting up a NFS mount isn't as likely to see it there as they would if it were in nfs(5). I see no harm in documenting it here too. At the very least, if you're going to put this into udp(7) instead then nfs(5) should refer to that manpage and chapter explicitly. -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- 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
