It seems reasonable that someone might want to disable ipv4 or ipv6 without changing /etc/netconfig. This also has some parity with the -T and -U options too... It would be good however to have nfsd and statd share options and behavior here, so I think we should implement the same convention for both. Do you think it would be better to remove -4/-6 from nfsd, or add those options to the new statd? -- Jeff Layton <jlayton@xxxxxxxxxx> -- 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
