Hi, I recently packaged nfs-utils 1.2.1 for openSUSE and fairly quickly got a bug report - "-o nfsvers=3" was needed to mount NFSv3 filesystems. mount.nfs in 1.2.1 will first try a v4 mount but will fall-back to v3 if it gets ENOENT. This works fine. However for kernel prior to 2.6.25, you don't get ENOENT, you get EPERM. In that case the fall-back to v3 doesn't happen and you get a failure to mount. So I think we need to fall back on EPERM as well. See below. Thanks, NeilBrown diff --git a/utils/mount/stropts.c b/utils/mount/stropts.c index b595649..68eb82b 100644 --- a/utils/mount/stropts.c +++ b/utils/mount/stropts.c @@ -657,8 +657,10 @@ static int nfs_try_mount(struct nfsmount_info *mi) * To deal with legacy Linux servers that don't * automatically export a pseudo root, retry * ENOENT errors using version 3 + * And for Linux servers prior to 2.6.25, retry + * EPERM */ - if (errno != ENOENT) + if (errno != ENOENT && errno != EPERM) break; } } -- 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
