Steved's the expert, but one approach might be just to get the source rpm. Obviously this doesn't have to be done before the kernel submission; all I care about is that nobody get a server that accepts 4.1 calls by default. If you just need something for testing, I think you can do the job of rpc.nfsd by hand with just: echo <version string> >/proc/fs/nfsd/versions echo <number of threads> >/proc/fs/nfsd/threads rpc.nfsd isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer. --b. -- 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
