.SH NAME
exports \- NFS file systems being exported (for Kernel based NFS)
.SH SYNOPSIS
an unclean server restart (i.e. a crash) can cause data to be lost or
corrupted.
+.TP
+.IR sync
+Reply to requests only after the changes have been committed to stable
+storage (see
+.IR async
+above).
+
In releases of nfs-utils upto and including 1.0.0, this option was the
default. In this and future releases,
.I sync
The option can be explicitly disabled with
.IR hide .
.TP
+.IR crossmnt
+This option is similar to
+.I nohide
+but it makes it possible for clients to move from the filesystem marked
+with crossmnt to exported filesystems mounted on it. Thus when a child
+filesystem "B" is mounted on a parent "A", setting crossmnt on "A" has
+the same effect as setting "nohide" on B.
+.TP
.IR no_subtree_check
This option disables subtree checking, which has mild security
-implications, but can improve reliability is some circumstances.
+implications, but can improve reliability in some circumstances.
If a subdirectory of a filesystem is exported, but the whole
filesystem isn't then whenever a NFS request arrives, the server must
directories to which only root has access can only be accessed if the
filesystem is exported with
.I no_root_squash
-(see below), even the file itself allows more general access.
+(see below), even if the file itself allows more general access.
As a general guide, a home directory filesystem, which is normally
exported at the root and may see lots of file renames, should be
.IR auth_nlm ,
or
.IR secure_locks .
+.TP
+.IR no_acl
+On some specially patched kernels, and when exporting filesystems that
+support ACLs, this option tells nfsd not to reveal ACLs to clients, so
+they will see only a subset of actual permissions on the given file
+system. This option is safe for filesystems used by NFSv2 clients and
+old NFSv3 clients that perform access decisions locally. Current
+NFSv3 clients use the ACCESS RPC to perform all access decisions on
+the server. Note that the
+.I no_acl
+option only has effect on kernels specially patched to support it, and
+when exporting filesystems with ACL support. The default is to export
+with ACL support (i.e. by default,
+.I no_acl
+is off).
