2010-07-09 17:58 by AndrewBrouwers - nfs-utils improvement
Changed line 45 from:
* NFSv4 support has been added to nfs-utils. This requires a couple of new libraries (libevent, libtirpc, libnfsidmap), and portmap has to be replaced by rpcbind. We have moved the entire NFS stack to opt, which is still shipped with the ISO. Setup will not update to the new version if you have old nfs-utils installed, but will instead remove the old version and create a backup of /etc/exports.
