Howdy,
We currently have a nice beefy fBSD4 box for our main NFS server with
approx 10 fBSD4 clients.
We will be upgrading the NFS server soon but I can't seem to find any
info on NFS compatibiltiy between 5.x and 4.x.
Logic tells me that if my NFS server is running 5.x with a UFS2
filesystem that my 4.x UFS clients won't be able to mount a share from
the 5.x box.
Or does the NFS layer allow this? Will my 5.x box be backwards
compatible for 4.x boxen and still work?
Thanks in advance :)
