I just realized that the following are yet another NFS syntax variation.
client_test "NFSv3 root=nfs DHCP path only" 52:54:00:12:34:00 \
"root=nfs" 192.168.50.1 -wsize=4096 || return 1
client_test "NFSv3 root=nfs DHCP IP:path" 52:54:00:12:34:01 \
"root=nfs" 192.168.50.2 -wsize=4096 || return 1
client_test "NFSv4 root=nfs4 DHCP path only" 52:54:00:12:34:80 \
"root=nfs4" 192.168.50.1 -wsize=4096 || return 1
client_test "NFSv4 netroot=nfs4 DHCP IP:path" 52:54:00:12:34:81 \
"netroot=nfs4" 192.168.50.2 -wsize=4096 || return 1
client_test "NFSv4 root=nfs4 DHCP IP:path" 52:54:00:12:34:81 \
"root=nfs4" 192.168.50.2 -wsize=4096 || return 1
client_test "NFSv4 root=nfs4" 52:54:00:12:34:84 \
"root=nfs4" 192.168.50.1 -wsize=4096 || return 1
client_test "NFSv4 root=nfs4 DHCP path,options" \
52:54:00:12:34:85 "root=nfs4" 192.168.50.1 wsize=4096 || return
client_test "NFSv4 root=nfs4 DHCP IP:path,options" \
52:54:00:12:34:86 "root=nfs4" 192.168.50.2 wsize=4096 || return
When is it ever necessary to use explicitly root=nfs or root=nfs4
instead of root=dhcp? It seems functionally equivalent while
unnecessarily limiting since DHCP should tell you the protocol.
Benefits of de-supporting these variations:
* Simplify the documentation further, fewer possible ways to configure
it to confuse people.
* Far fewer redundant test cases to make the test suite slow.
