Thanks. This looks like information that I haven't been able to find
any other way, despite looking for several months. I'm trying to try
this now (firsttrying to find mention of what you're telling me in the
documentation so I'll understand what I'm doing), but my nfs man pages
mention options nfsvers and mountvers, but not vers. The etch man pages
mentions NFS versions 1, 2, 3 and 4, but the sarge man pages (sarge is
the client) mentions only 1 and 2.
Of course I'll try it anyway as soon as my users are
out of the way, but I find myself wondering whether these are manual
deficiencies or functional limitations in the sarge and etch releases.
