The original NFS text-based mount support was added in 2.6.23.
OK.
New features will be added only to the text-based mount interface,
however, so eventually everyone will need to use the text-based mount
interface on new kernels.
That sounds like a good idea.
Because we have little documented history and only a handful of use
cases and unit tests for the mount command, it's important for
everyone to test the new API and report problems here so we can
address them. NFS mount is complex and has many subtle and hidden
historical behaviors.
My system fails with 2.6.23 and 2.6.25 kernels. As I described in my
original mail, I only have TCP access to the server, and only through an
ssh tunnel.
Would you like me to try and produce some debug traces, or do you think
you can find the problem with the information you have already? I've
seen quite a few reports of this now.
