I don't think it would be that difficult to optionally store a v4 or v6 address to bind socket. You'll also need to think about what this means for ip address selection in the mount helper. It'll need to be modified to make sure that the address families between the two match. What happens if someone specifies and IPv4 bindaddr, and the host in the UNC resolves to an IPv6 address? -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxx> -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-cifs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
