Easy to use, and a good handbook entry on its use. The problem I'm having is trying to figure out what ports nfs will use... I've been using udp, v2, and it seems to grab ports in the 1010-1030 range. If I use the "nfs priv-port" sysctl, it strays around in the 980 range with the port incrementing with each access. Is there an absolute range that it will stay in in either mode? If I use tcp will it stick to one port on each side?
