commit efbda485ff5b3d5916971e1af656d2c21307af30 Author: Steve Dickson Date: Sat Nov 3 09:14:57 2007 -0400 The wording in the exportfs man page can be a bit confusing, implying that "exportfs -u :/foo" will unexport /foo from all hosts, which it won't. This patch cleans that wording up and adds a couple examples on how to unexport directories Signed-off-by: Steinar H.
