Bug ID: 1018500
           Summary: There's no section in the documentation for NFS, after
                    Fedora 14
           Product: Fedora Documentation
           Version: devel
         Component: storage-administration-guide

Description of problem:
There's no section in the documentation for current Fedora versions, about how
to configure NFS. There's SAMBA and FTP, but no NFS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Search or browse documentation.
2.
3.

Actual results:
Can find scattered information about configuring NFS, but no consolidated
section.

Expected results:
Section for configuring NFS clients and servers.

Additional info:
There are many changes in NFS configuration since Fedora 14. There's a
different init system with different service names, There's also a new firewall
manager. I'm just guess at a lot of the details, and it's pretty frustrating.
Why does SAMBA have a large detailed section, and NFS has nothing? This is
Linux, right? Is the Fedora Project moving to SAMBA as the preferred file
sharing method?

No, this is not our intention. As Stephen implied, the only reason why we have
more or less up-to-date documentation on Samba and none on NFS is that Samba is
documented in the System Administrator's Guide while NFS used to be part of the
Storage Administration Guide. The latter is, unfortunately, no longer
maintained.

Unfortunately, I'm having a very difficult time figuring out how to set up NFS
in Fedora 19, without the documentation. Once I do, though, I can let you know.
I'm assuming that the documentation will be updated before the release of RHEL
7. the biggest gap I see in much of the documentation is that it's written for
SysVInit instead systemd. Much of the old SysV commands still work, but many
don't.

I can attempt to do an overhaul of this documentation but it will not happen
before the release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 as until then my time is taken
up elsewhere.

I'm going to close this for now.  This guide would need a rewrite at this point
to get resurrected, and any specific deficiency in the older version of the
document won't necessarily be relevant to the new guide.
