Perhaps
in the long term, you might consider replacing the specialized code
in
klibc with simply passing the server, export path, and mount options
right to the kernel and let it do the work. This should work with
any
kernel later than 2.6.23.
I'm happy to help with any questions.
sounds good indeed.
a quick one: can it do nfs v4 mounts?
Yes, in fact. Set the file system type to "nfs4" instead of "nfs"
when invoking mount(2).
