      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      The `nfsdcltrack` (replaced by nfsdcld) is removed in rhel-10.0 since nfs-utils-2.8.2-0.el10 but there're still some places need more cleanup IMO.

       

      • The configure file /etc/nfs.conf still has the [nfsdcltrack] section i.e.
      [root@rhel-10-upk ~]# cat /etc/nfs.conf | grep nfsdcltrack -A1
      [nfsdcltrack]
      # debug=0
      # storagedir=/var/lib/nfs/nfsdcltrack
      #

       

      • The man page nfs.conf(5) also need to be update
      [root@rhel-10-upk ~]# man nfs.conf | grep nfsdcltrack -A1
             nfsdcltrack
                    Recognized values: storagedir.
      --
                    The  nfsdcltrack  program  is  run directly by the Linux kernel and there is no opportunity to provide command
                    line arguments, so the configuration file is the only way to configure this program.  See  nfsdcltrack(8)  for
                    details.
      --
             nfsdcltrack(8), rpc.nfsd(8), rpc.mountd(8), nfsmount.conf(5).
      

       

      • The man page nfsdcld(8) introduces some background of `nfsdcltrack` which might be okay. But it sometimes refers to the nfsdcltrack(8) which no longer be provided IMO e.g.
      [root@rhel-10-upk ~]# man nfsdcld | grep 'SEE ALSO' -A1
      SEE ALSO
             nfsdcltrack(8), nfsdclddb(8)
      [root@rhel-10-upk ~]# rpm -q nfs-utils | grep nfsdcltrack
      [root@rhel-10-upk ~]# rpm -q nfs-utils
      nfs-utils-2.8.2-0.el10.x86_64
      [root@rhel-10-upk ~]#
