Operation Manual

After activating NFSv4, enter an appropriate domain name. Make sure the name is the
same as the one in the /etc/idmapd.conf le of any NFSv4 client that accesses
this particular server. This parameter is for the idmapd service that is required for NFSv4
support (on both server and client). Leave it as localdomain (the default) if you do
not have special requirements. For more information, see the links in Section 26.7, “For
More Information” (page 429).
Click Next. The dialog that follows has two sections. The upper half consists of two
columns named Directories and Bind Mount Targets . Directories is a directly editable
column that lists the directories to export.
For a xed set of clients, there are two types of directories that can be exported—direc-
tories that act as pseudo root le systems and those that are bound to some subdirectory
of the pseudo le system. This pseudo le system acts as a base point under which all
le systems exported for the same client set take their place. For a client or set of clients,
only one directory on the server can be congured as pseudo root for export. For this
client, export multiple directories by binding them to some existing subdirectory in the
pseudo root.
