Agreed? > > i.e. "Path to device to mount / remote export" or something? Yes, that's a good answer to the question afterwards :) But what do you think about the general idea of using an explanation caption below the "Path" text-box (instead of a tool-tip that was suggested here earlier)? Also, do you think that the above should be the exact phrasing? The NFS one is: "Please use 'FQDN:/path' or 'IP:/path' Example 'server.example.com:/export/VMs'" so maybe a "Please use" should be incorporated in this case as well, maybe also an example, etc. What do you think?
