Hi all, I am new to the NFS filesystem. When we perfrom a nfs mount the nfs_getattr function is called. I would like to know why this getattr function is called and from which function in the vfs layer. I think it comes from vfs_stat_fd function but what are the parameters passed to it for calling get_attribute. Basically whose attributes are being searched?? The same case with unmounting operation. why this getattr function is called and from where in vfs layer it is invoked? I am using linux-2.6.15.
