On SLED11 (nfs-utils 1.1.3), it is not possible to mount without using the
portmapper. This is necessary, say, when mounting resources from a "unfs3"
server. Example:
# mount -t nfs -o mountport=4711,port=4711,mountvers=3,nfsvers=3,nolock,tcp localhost:/some/path /mnt
mount.nfs: mount to NFS server 'localhost:/some/path' failed: RPC Error: Program not registered
In this case, the local portmapper shouldn't be contacted; mount has all
information it needs.
I suspect that this is a bug in nfs-utils 1.1.3 which has been fixed in
1.1.4, since it works on distributions which have upgraded to 1.1.4.
However, I cannot find anything obvious in the ChangeLog.
Downgrading to nfs-client-1.1.2 from OpenSuse 11.0 seems to work, but this
is not an optimal solution. Since Novell doesn't have a public SLE
Bugzilla, there's no place to report this bug, but perhaps some Novell
developers are reading this list?
Best regards,
