Goal

File system name space is one of many new features of NFSv4.

NFSv4 provides a different model file system name-space model than did previous versions. NFSv4 servers, rather than exporting multiple file systems, provide/export only a single hierarchical file system tree ("pseudo file system"), formed from multiple actual file systems, and potentially customized for each client. If a server has to share more than one logical file system tree, the single trees are integrated in a new virtual root directory. This construction, called pseudo file system, is the one which is provided/exported to clients.

Other NFSv4 new features as well as a quick NFSv4 server/client configuration guide could be found via Doc ID 456246.1
