2020-01-16Documentation: convert nfs.txt to ReSTDaniel W. S. Almeida1-136/+0
This patch converts nfs.txt to RST. It also moves it to admin-guide. The reason for moving it is because this document contains information useful for system administrators, as noted on the following paragraph: 'The purpose of this document is to provide information on some of the special features of the NFS client that can be configured by system administrators'.

2012-10-01NFS: Add nfs4_unique_id boot parameterChuck Lever1-3/+41
An optional boot parameter is introduced to allow client administrators to specify a string that the Linux NFS client can insert into its nfs_client_id4 id string, to make it both more globally unique, and to ensure that it doesn't change even if the client's nodename changes. If this boot parameter is not specified, the client's nodename is used, as before. Client installation procedures can create a unique string (typically, a UUID) which remains unchanged during the lifetime of that client instance. This works just like creating a UUID for the label of the system's root and boot volumes.
