The branch stable/13 has been updated by rmacklem: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/src/commit/?id=bda48373633c4870f2963d62395fbb7a7ffa524a commit bda48373633c4870f2963d62395fbb7a7ffa524a Author: Rick Macklem <rmacklem@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-08-26 01:38:54 +0000 Commit: Rick Macklem <rmacklem@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2025-09-09 00:59:06 +0000 exports.5: Add a paragraph clarifying the use of "V4:" The exports.5 man page is a bit of a monster. One place of common confusion is the use of the "V4:" line(s) for defining the location of the root of the NFSv4 export subtree. This patch adds a paragraph in an attempt to clarify this. This is a content change.
