Yeah, I'm testing a patch for this atm... > Meanwhile, the trivial workaround is to specify -fstype=nfs4 and/or > -port, instead of using -vers. Not obvious, that's for sure, but it > works and it is simple. There's a lot of documentation problems, I'm working up patches for those too. As it turns out, you shouldn't have to specify the port for nfs4... see port=n in nfs(5) under the "Options for NFS version 4 only" section. Figuring out a way to probe NFSv4 servers that doesn't involve the rpc ping is, IMO, what needs to happen. Maybe for single hosts, it's less important, but the probing and weighting that automount does is necessary for replicated exports. > Either using -port OR -fstype=nfv4 should work.

To make matters even more fun, there's a bug in the 3.5-rc kernels at the moment that prevents -fstype=nfs4 from working all by itself... but it's in the process of being worked out thankfully. -- Jamie Heilman http://audible.transient.net/~jamie/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
