Hi Steve- Here are four patches that are ready to be included in nfs-utils which address some known issues with the text-based part of the mount.nfs command Neil copied the statd check from the legacy binary mount path to the text- based path, and I provided some additional clean up. I also fixed a problem with the way the text-based retry= option calculates how many minutes to continue retrying a mount request. Finally I fixed the error message generated by the mount.nfs command that is reported if no NFS service is registered on the server's rpcbind daemon. In addition to these three fixes, I have cleaned up the text-based mount code path to use a single data structure instead of passing around more than a half-dozed arguments. --- Chuck Lever (3): text-based mount command: use correct server name in rewrite_mount_options text-based mount command: Pass around fewer arguments text-based mount command: Fix retry= option Neil Brown (1): text-based mount command: check if statd is running if "lock" is in effect. utils/mount/error.c | 3 utils/mount/stropts.c | 318 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 2 files changed, 197 insertions(+), 124 deletions(-) -- Chuck Lever chuck[dot]lever[at]oracle[dot]com -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-nfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
