1 - I never look at the Handbook, but do try and maintain the man pages.=0A=
Since you didn't explain the specifics related to your confusion, all =
I can=0A=
say is that the man pages are probably more correct.=0A=
=0A=
Assuming you already have a running NFSv3 NFS server, all you need to do=0A=
is:=0A=
- Add a V4: line to your /etc/exports files. This does not "export any file=
systems"=0A=
(that is done by other lines in /etc/exports exactly the same as NFSv3).=
=0A=
However, it does tell the NFSv4 server where the "root" is for NFSv4 clie=
nts.=0A=
(ie. Where in the server's file system tree a "nfs-server:/" done by an N=
FSv4 client=0A=
ends up.)=0A=
- Add nfsv4_server_enable=3D"YES" to your /etc/rc.conf.=0A=
=0A=
Note that, since NFSv4 does allow a mount to cross server mount points (unl=
ike=0A=
NFSv3), a client will normally only do a single mount at or near the "root"=
=0A=
specified by the "V4:" line (see "man exports").=0A=
=0A=
If you explain what inconsistencies are in the docs, maybe someone could=0A=
fix them.=0A=
