Package: nfs-common Version: 1:1.2.1-3 Severity: important Since upgrading nfs-common from 1.2.0-4.1 to 1.2.1-3, the default behavior in mount.nfs has changed so that it tries to mount filesystems as NFSv4 as default (when specifying `-t nfs' to mount), rather than NFSv3 as it has always done previously.
The fix is trivial (just specify -o vers=3), but since v3 was the previous default, it is common to omit it from /etc/fstab, and since the mount request fails as NFSv4, the init scripts will hang during boot, waiting forever for the NFS mount to become available. It would probably be good to continue mounting as v3 by default, IMHO, since it has always been possible to specify nfs4 as the filesystem type explicitly. Even if you don't agree, it would probably be nice to at least mention the change in the package's NEWS file, so that one can see it before rebooting. -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-trunk-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages nfs-common depends on: ii adduser 3.112 add and remove users and groups ii initscripts 2.87dsf-8 scripts for initializing and shutt ii libc6 2.10.2-2 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libcomerr2 1.41.9-1 common error description library ii libevent-1.4-2 1.4.13-stable-1 An asynchronous event notification ii libgssapi-krb5-2 1.8+dfsg~alpha1-5 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - k ii libgssglue1 0.1-4 mechanism-switch gssapi library ii libk5crypto3 1.8+dfsg~alpha1-5 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries - C ii libkrb5-3 1.8+dfsg~alpha1-5 MIT Kerberos runtime libraries ii libnfsidmap2 0.23-2 An nfs idmapping library ii librpcsecgss3 0.19-2 allows secure rpc communication us ii libwrap0 7.6.q-18 Wietse Venema's TCP wrappers libra ii lsb-base 3.2-23 Linux Standard Base 3.2 init scrip ii netbase 4.40 Basic TCP/IP networking system ii portmap 6.0.0-1 RPC port mapper ii ucf 3.0025 Update Configuration File: preserv nfs-common recommends no packages. nfs-common suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
