We had a long discussion in debian bug#675798, when we pushed 5.0.6 (+fixes), about nfsv4, contacting portmapper and other related topics. The bugreported ended up creating 2 patches which appears to be quite good, but are already sort of expired due to small fixes in these areas. I'm talking about this: http://bugs.debian.org/675798#84 and the following patches: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=84;filename=0001-mount_nfs.so-honor-explicit-NFSv4-requests.patch;att=1;bug=675798 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=94;filename=0002-mount_nfs.so-fix-port-0-option-behavior-v3.patch;att=1;bug=675798 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=84;filename=0003-documentation-fix-some-typos-and-misleading-comments.patch;att=3;bug=675798 I'm planning to review these myself (I was at vacation when these arrived, and I had no 'net access there). Ian, can you take a look please, how relevant these are today? The work Jamie Heilman did definitely deserves at least some attention ;) Thanks, /mjt -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe autofs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
