NFS and SUSE 9.0

[Roger Oberholtzer]

Re UIDs, check out "User ID Mapping" in the 'exports' man page. Sun's and
SVR4's NFS allow individual uid-to-uid mapping. But Linux is limited to what
you will find in the man page. Maybe it will be enough for your uses.

Also, be sure to add the 'noatime' option. With NFS this can make a speed
difference. Especially when browsing directories.

If you are mounting NFS partitions at boot. BE SURE TO ADD THE 'bg' OPTION
TO /etc/fstab. If not, and the client is not cooperating/available, booting
may not complete. You have been warned.

We use NFS all the time with no trouble. Even for a Gentoo diskless setup we
are introducing in our product (served by a SUSE 9 NFS server). NFS is nice.
