Subject: [PATCH] Clarify language in man exportfs
Date: Mon, 29 Oct 2007 19:04:43 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20071029180443.GA6109@uio.no> (raw)

(I still have two pending minor patches, by the way :-) )

As discussed in a user case earlier, the wording in the exportfs man page can
be a bit confusing, implying that "exportfs -u :/foo" will unexport /foo from
all hosts, which it won't. Thus, make the language clearer -- based on
suggestion/patch from David Liontooth.
