Feature changed by: Antoine Ginies (aginies) Feature #315589, revision 6 Title: Deprecate bind-mount configuration with NFSv4 export Requested by: Neil Brown (neilbrown) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: When NFSv4 was introduced it was not possible to export filesystems to NFSv4 the same way as for NFSv3. The "bind=" syntax was added to /etc/exports to help bridge the gaps. With current kernel and nfs-utils this is no longer an issue. By default any filesystem that is exported is exported equally to NFSv2, v3, and v4. So we should deprecate the "bind=" syntax and eventually remove it. This means: 1) yasts nfs-server module should remove knowledge of "Bindmount targets". The "bind=..." option should just be treated like any other option. 2) yasts nfs-server module should not encourage the "fsid=0" export option. Like "bind=" it must still be permitted, but it should be considered and exception rather than normal. 3) Yasts nfs-server help screens should remove mention of "bind=" and "fsid=0". 4) Any documentation that mentioned nfs export, such as http://doc.opensuse.org/documentation/html/openSUSE/opensuse-reference/cha.n... should be changed to remove mention of bind= and fsid=, and should not make any distinciton between NFSv4 and NFSv3. + Documentation Impact: + RN Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: Simplifies administration, reduces possible confusion, remove unnecessary difference between SUSE and other distros. Discussion: #3: Lukas Ocilka (locilka) (2013-08-23 12:39:57) Michal, this rather seems to be a low-hanging fruit. Please, proceed. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/315589
