Root squash is OK, but I do not understand why i cannot mount the
NFS-partition as root? At least i cannot use the amd to mount it for me as
root (i suppose I could mount it directly, othervise the amd could not do
it either). I have been using this setup for over 4 years now, and I can
assure you that this is (or at least was) not the standard behaviour.
As i said - it never really bothered me, but i do find it a strange
behaviour.
