OK - I think I want to go with 1 as it is really a consequence of arch going with nfs4 by default (which is different from the original target of the web ui which is what drove two option) - so it seems logical to have one nfs option which uses the default and note how to make it nfs3 in the help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
