Have a look at <http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0709.2/2524.html>, where it becomes clear that this glibc patch causes communication failure between rpc.mountd (of nfs-utils 1.1.0) and the kernel during kernel upcalls to verify fh validity. This leads to the entire NFS server seizing up.
It's been worked around in more recent nfs-utils releases, but still, this is not good. This patch needs to go. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
