Hi.
The NFS server GUI seems to (partly) a re-iteration of an idea that has been
propsed some time ago already:

As for one of the suggestions that was made on the doc, I'd rather
have this discussion on the list than in the doc.

(note to readers: "this" is referring to creation of the underlying
storage as part of the NFS server role)
Are we going to provide something useful, or a construction kit to
make useful things? I think that we're targeting inexperienced admins,
therefore I think that a frictionless experience from out of the box
to something that is up providing services on the network is the
standard that we should strive for.
There are existing products with existing user-base having similar
functionality (FreeNAS, Open Media Vault,...). Wouldn't it make sense to get
inspired there?
