[Touch-packages] [Bug 1954716] Re: rpi nfsroot vers=4 not supported anymore?

2023-02-27 Thread Stephen Winnall
Sorry to come back to this, but I'm now trying to netboot Ubuntu 22.04.2, having found the above mentioned work-around for 20.04. Something has changed: I can no longer netboot from NFSv4 by replacing /usr/lib/klibc/bin/nfsmount with an NFSv4-friendly hack. I am now getting the same error messages

And being able to boot from NFSv4 has also made overlayroot work. I just need to go back and ensure that it still doesn’t work with NFSv3, just in case it was fixed by something else... > On 9 Aug 2022, at 13:47, Juerg Haefliger <1954...@bugs.launchpad.net> wrote: > > Please do test the work-arou

Whilst trying to understand the problem I looked at the source of nfsmount in klibc. Nfsmount has a switch statement in which it checks the value of nfsvers and only proceeds if it is 2 or 3. Given that my version of nfsmount, compiled with klcc, can indeed mount using NFSv4 I suspect that in libc'

Done it! I've managed to boot my RPi4 with Ubuntu Jammy off an NFSv4 share using the workaround from https://bugs.debian.org/cgi- bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=409272#14 . I created the file in the attachment and compiled it with klcc. If anyone else wants to use it they'll have to edit the file, put thei

2022-08-09 Thread Stephen Winnall
Thanks Juerg, you’ve been very helpful. Presumably there is no quick fix for this because of the klibc/glibc thing, so it’s an architectural rather than a programming issue. And it needs to be fixed in Debian rather than in Ubuntu. I’d offer to help but I arrived here after drilling down from a c

Thanks, I’ll look at that. I note that this issue is now a confirmed bug. What does that mean in practical terms? Will it be dealt with this week, this month, this year…? I need to be able to boot from NFSv4. If RaspiOS can do that it might make sense for me to move after 15 years from Ubuntu to

2022-08-08 Thread Stephen Winnall
The upstream bug is in Debian 11. The current version of RaspiOS, which seems to support booting from NFSv4, is a Debian 11 derivative. That means that RaspiOS has fixed it for Debian 11. Is it possible to copy the RaspiOS solution? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member o
