+Description: NFS server defaults to synchronous writes
+ To comply with standards and increase data safety, the Linux NFS
+ server now defaults to synchronous writes. Since this is a major
+ change, it is not silent: All exports should be explicitly marked as
+ either "sync" or "async". Exports not so marked will elicit warnings.

Template: nfs-kernel-server/tcpwrappers-mountd
Type: note
Description: in /etc/hosts.{allow,deny}, replace "rpc.mountd" with "mountd"
- Older versions of nfs-kernel-server included a mount daemon that
- called itself "rpc.mountd". The current mount daemon, however, calls
- itself just plain "mountd".
+ The mount daemon uses tcpwrappers to control access. To configure
+ it, use program name "mountd" in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny.
.
- Therefore, you should replace all occurrences of "rpc.mountd" with
- "mountd" in /etc/hosts.allow and /etc/hosts.deny.
