<header>Disable subtree checking?</header>
This option disables subtree checking, which has mild
security implications, but can improve reliability in
some circumstances. <p>
If a subdirectory of a filesystem is exported, but the
whole filesystem isn't then whenever a NFS request
arrives, the server must check not only that the accessed
file is in the appropriate filesystem (which is easy) but
also that it is in the exported tree (which is harder). <p>
