Read as unfs3 is run as client to access kernel nfs on host. No where in any documentation on unfs3 does it ever say unfs3 has to be run on both client and service side. That sentence infers that unfs3 is only run on the client side. Now I do concede that the writer of that sentence may not be a native English speaker and as such fails to express fully the intent of what he was trying to say. Maybe unfs3 really has to be used on both the host server side and clients side for it to work. Or this may just be a case of the author being to close to the trees to see the forest.
