The NFS "nosharecache" patch in F7 is broken
If people try mounting several exports from the same filesystem, it fails with confusing error messages if the mount options are different for some of the mount points. Adding "nosharecache" to the mount options fixes that, but people with working setups suddenly find they need this new option to use a setup that used to work without it. Should we just revert that patch? ___ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list

Should we just revert that patch? Thats been the million dollar question lately... there has been quite a bit of complaints about this patch... but note the check does do some correct sanity checking so the changes it point would be a good thing to do But with that said, I would if making it a warning first, giving people time to clean up their setups and then making it an error later on... Can't it be made to automatically set the nosharecache flag if it's needed? thats is an idea that has been kicked around but it turns out it becomes very messy very quickly... steved. ___ Fedora-kernel-list mailing list Fedora-kernel-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-kernel-list
