Export Filesystems Read-Only if Possible
If a filesystem is being exported so that users can view the files in a convenient fashion, but there is no need for users to edit those files, exporting the filesystem read-only removes an attack vector against the server. The default filesystem export mode is
ro
, so do not specify
rw
without a good reason.
