What does /var/lib/nfs/v4recovery look like on the server?
The server was misconfigured, but I still think the client should
behave better in this case. If you cannot reproduce it, let me know
and I can try to be more specific. If you still want the v4recovery
information, let me know and I'll send it.
So how should the client behave, when a screwed up server allows it to
mount but starts returning illegal values for setclientid? The only
thing I can see we could do is to tell the user EINSANESERVER...
Well, it could just fail the mount and give up and not overly spam
/var/log/messages in a tight loop perhaps?
Now, we _should_ fix the wretched NFS server so that it doesn't do NFSv4
mounts when there is no configured root partition. We _should_ also fix
the damned thing so that it doesn't return illegal values.
Sounds fine to me.
Thanks,
Ben
