Dear nfs maintainer,
the manpage-l10n project maintains a large number of translations of
man pages both from a large variety of sources (including NFS) as
well for a large variety of target languages.

During their work translators notice different possible issues in the
original (english) man pages. Sometimes this is a straightforward
typo, sometimes a hard to read sentence, sometimes this is a
convention not held up and sometimes we simply do not understand the
original.

We use several distributions as sources and update regularly (at
least every 2 month). This means we are fairly recent (some
distributions like archlinux also update frequently) but might miss
the latest upstream version once in a while, so the error might be
already fixed. We apologize and ask you to close the issue immediately
if this should be the case, but given the huge volume of projects and
the very limited number of volunteers we are not able to double check
each and every issue.

Secondly we translators see the manpages in the neutral po format,
i.e. converted and harmonized, but not the original source (be it man,
groff, xml or other). So we cannot provide a true patch (where
possible), but only an approximation which you need to convert into
your source format.

Finally the issues I'm reporting have accumulated over time and are
not always discovered by me, so sometimes my description of the
problem my be a bit limited - do not hesitate to ask so we can clarify
them.

I'm now reporting the errors for your project. If future reports
should use another channel, please let me know.

Man page: blkmapd.8
Issue:    Markup of device-mapper

"The topology typically consists of a hierarchy of volumes built by stripin=
g, "
"slicing, and concatenating the simple volumes.  The B<blkmapd> daemon uses=
 "
"the device-mapper driver to construct logical devices that reflect the "
"server topology, and passes these devices to the kernel for use by the pNF=
S "
"block layout client."

th "
"the client or clients who are permitted to access it.  See B<exports(5)> f=

"a description of supported options and access list formats."

Man page: nfs.5
Issue:    Why is the word "option" in bold?

"The B<sloppy> option is an alternative to specifying B<mount.nfs> -s "
"B<option.>"

Issue:    B<nfsmount.conf(5)> =E2=86=92 B<nfsmount.conf>(5)

"described in the previous section can also be configured in the I</etc/"

Man page: nfsd.7
Issue:    back-slash vs. backslash, should be consistent

"Each line of the file contains a path name, a client name, and a number of=
 "
"options in parentheses.  Any space, tab, newline or back-slash character i=
n "
"the path name or client name will be replaced by a backslash followed by t=

Issue:    thread currently =E2=86=92 threads currently

"This file represents the number of B<nfsd> thread currently running.  "
"Reading it will show the number of threads.  Writing an ASCII decimal numb=
er "
"will cause the number of threads to be changed (increased or decreased as "
"necessary) to achieve that number."

Man page: nfsd.7
Issue:    The first sentence is somewhat logical, but is this really the sp=
eciality of this file?

"This is a somewhat unusual file in that what is read from it depends on wh=
at "
"was just written to it.  It provides a transactional interface where a "
"program can open the file, write a request, and read a response.  If two "
"separate programs open, write, and read at the same time, their requests "
"will not be mixed up."

Issue:    changesare make =E2=86=92 changes are made

"When configuration changesare make, it can be hard to know exactly which "
