A (possibly undocumented) -P 4.1 option (or some other name) could be used by testers to specify that they want 4.1. After things have settled down a little we'd change the kernel's default, and then only -N 4.1 would be needed. If I'd known we'd be enabling 4.1 by default in nfs-utils, I wouldn't have been so happy about removing the 4.1 config option--how confident are we that the 4.1 code to be in 2.6.30 has no security holes? --b. > > --- /etc/sysconfig/nfs.orig 2009-04-22 14:57:15.000000000 +0300 > +++ /etc/sysconfig/nfs 2009-04-22 14:46:52.000000000 +0300 > @@ -26,6 +26,8 @@ > #RPCNFSDARGS="-N 2 -N 3" > # Turn off v4 protocol support > #RPCNFSDARGS="-N 4" > +# Turn off v4.1 minorversion support > +RPCNFSDARGS="-N 4.1" > # Number of nfs server processes to be started. > # The default is 8. > #RPCNFSDCOUNT=8 > > The patches in this set are: > [PATCH 1/3] utils/nfsd: add support for minorvers4 > [PATCH 2/3] utils/nfsd: disable minorvers4 via command line > [PATCH 3/3] utils/nfsd: enable nfs minorvers4 by default > > Benny -- 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
