The branch main has been updated by olce: URL: https://cgit.FreeBSD.org/doc/commit/?id=cc70dfe908fe23133b3c645db822563f8aaa9098 commit cc70dfe908fe23133b3c645db822563f8aaa9098 Author: Olivier Certner <olce@FreeBSD.org> AuthorDate: 2025-12-02 08:45:01 +0000 Commit: Olivier Certner <olce@FreeBSD.org> CommitDate: 2025-12-02 08:45:20 +0000 15.0R/relnotes: Small typo/formatting fixes, move "General Storage" Consistently with other sections, move the "General Storage" sub-section first under the "General" section. Move the note on exporting more groups with `-maproot`/`-mapall` under the NFS sub-section. Minor typo/formatting fixes.
