RHBA-2018:3311 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update for nfs-utils is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Description

The nfs-utils packages provide a daemon for the kernel Network File System (NFS) server and related tools, which provides better performance than the traditional Linux NFS server used by most users. These packages also contain the mount.nfs, umount.nfs, and showmount programs.

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.6 Release Notes linked from the References section.

Users of nfs-utils are advised to upgrade to these updated packages.
