2023-02-15Documentation: Fix sysfs path for the NFSv4 client identifierDave Wysochanski1-2/+2
The sysfs path for the NFS4 client identfier should start with the path component of 'nfs' for the kset, and then the 'net' path component for the netns object, followed by the 'nfs_client' path component for the NFS client kobject, and ending with 'identifier' for the netns_client_id kobj_attribute.

2022-05-17Documentation: Add an explanation of NFSv4 client identifiersChuck Lever1-0/+216
To enable NFSv4 to work correctly, NFSv4 client identifiers have to be globally unique and persistent over client reboots. We believe that in many cases, a good default identifier can be chosen and set when a client system is imaged. Because there are many different ways a system can be imaged, provide an explanation of how NFSv4 client identifiers and principals can be set by install scripts and imaging tools. Additional cases, such as NFSv4 clients running in containers, also need unique and persistent identifiers. The Linux NFS community sets forth this explanation to aid those who create and manage container environments.
