noticed one thing today. within the local preferences i have set my default sites path to /users/myuser/siteslocal . i am using vagrant solutions aside as well which are using the /etc/exports as well. so when firing up the virtual machines i run in nfs errors/conflicts. when checking the /etc/exports file i noticed the scope for local isnt /users/myuser/siteslocal (meaning the directory set in the preferences) but just /users . it would make sense if the exports file would mind the defaults sites path from the preferences in local so.

+1 Agree, but this seems to be a bug rather than a feature request.

Hey all,

This will be addressed in Local 2.2. We’re switching away from native NFS for a better solution.
