Hello, what are the best practice configurations for NFS server and NFS client in the context of snapshot and restore into fs/NFS4 repos? So, how to configure `/etc/exports` and `/etc/fstab`, for example? Thanks in advance ---

Elasticsearch doesn't really care how NFS is configured. As long as it can successfully write files to the repository and each node can successfully read the files written by each other node, it should be happy. ---
