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