 This container exports '/' directory with an index.html inside. NFSv4 only.
 
+Accepts a -G option for specifying a group id to give exported directories.
+Clients in the specified group will have full rwx permissions, others none.

 Inspired by https://github.com/cpuguy83/docker-nfs-server.
 
 Used by test/e2e/* to test NFSVolumeSource. Not for production use!
