119 <para>
120 In BLFS we assume that nfs v3 will be used. If the
121 <emphasis>server</emphasis> offers nfs v4 (for linux, CONFIG_NFSD_V4)
122 then auto-negotiation for v3 will fail and you will need to add
123 <literal>nfsver=3</literal> to the mount options. This also applies
124 if that option is enabled in the <emphasis>client's</emphasis> kernel,
125 for example in a distro trying to mount from a BLFS v3 server.
126 </para>
127 <para>
128 Even if neither end of the connection supports nfs v4, adding
129 <literal>nfsver=3</literal> is still beneficial because it prevents an
130 error message "NFS: bad mount option value specified: minorversion=1"
131 being logged on every mount.

146 class="username">nobody</systemitem> user and <systemitem
147 class="groupname">nogroup</systemitem> group have been created as done in
148 the current LFS book. You can add them by running the following commands

155 <note>
156 <para>The classic uid and gid values are 65534 which is also -2 when
157 interpreted as a signed 16-bit number. These values impact other files
158 on some filesystems that do not have support for sparse files. The
159 <systemitem class="username">nobody</systemitem> and <systemitem
160 class="groupname">nogroup</systemitem> values are relatively arbitrary.
161 The impact on a server is nil if the <filename>exports</filename> file
162 is configured correctly. If it is misconfigured, an
163 <command>ls -l</command> or <command>ps</command> listing will show a
164 uid or gid number of 65534 instead of a name. The client uses <systemitem
