Re: NFS mount over IPv6 success

Steinar-

Thanks for testing!

Keep an eye out for IPv6-related patches for nfs-utils. The key is to ensure IPv4 continues to work, especially on Debian which tracks upstream nfs-utils closely.

Hi,

I'm sure others have gotten this to work at some point, but it's finally gotten to the point where I could get it to work myself, so I thought I could
share my success story:

- Vanilla 2.6.28-rc3 client (2.6.26 also worked, although not with NFSv4)
- Solaris 10 server
- libtirpc from git (git://git.infradead.org/~steved/libtirpc.git)
- IPv6-patched nfs-utils from git
  (git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/nfs-utils.git)

After recompiling (actually making Debian packages of) the client software, it was just a matter of mounting. 2.6.26 had some issues with IPv6 address
literals -- only DNS worked -- but 2.6.28-rc3 did both just fine.

I haven't done extensive testing, but this looks pretty good :-) Now I'm just waiting for the server support to get ready in the same way, and then for
everything to trickle into mainline.
