[J. Bruce Fields 2022-01-08 20:59:27 UTC] Every now and then I hear a request for more flexible idmapping. Nobody's working on it. Probably should just be closed as WONTFIX for now, but reassigning to Chuck in case he wants to consider it.
[Chuck Lever 2022-01-21 19:18:35 UTC] There have been no recent requests for this feature.
This was bugzilla.linux-nfs.org 181
[Mark Hobley 2009-09-06 06:36:48 UTC] This is an idea to extend NFS account squashing to allow a range of accounts to be squashed by providing a numerical parameter. The idea concerns implementations of NFS on Linux.
On Linux, currently only the root account can be squashed via NFS. However, we could extend this facility by using a numeric option added to the /etc/exports file.
For example:
/foobar 10.0.0.0/18(rw,squashbelow=14)
This would squash all accounts numbered 14 or below.
This option could still be used with the no_root_squash option:
/foobar 10.0.0.0/18(rw,squashbelow=14,no_root_squash)
Here, accounts 1 to 14 are squashed, but the root account (0) is not squashed.
