Please open a bug on bugzilla.linux-nfs.org <http://bugzilla.linux-nfs.org/>, product "kernel", component "server" with the description of your enhancement request above. As I said in the other thread, this is not an easy feature to add right now because the mountd downcall is text-based, and its parser can't support the punctuation needed to handle the extra port setting. (If it were easy we would have done it already). We will be able to add support for alternate ports when the mountd downcall is converted to use the new nfsd netlink protocol, infrastructure for which was added in v6.7. -- Chuck Lever
