See "man nfsv4" for more.

Only warning I see on a system reboot is: nfsd: can't open /var/db/nfs-stablerestart Creating this file and then rebooting the system seems to get things = working. This file certainly wasn't required by the old nfsd. Should this file be created by /etc/rc.d/nfsserver at boot time (if it = doesn't exist)? Or should it be created by installworld? Tim
