It's really a bug that we're returning an error at all from this point in the code, so the new client mount code includes a workaround for this case, added with the code that attempts v4 first by default. The error we're returning was also wrong. Unfortunately, my patch to fix the error went in at around the same time the new mount code went into nfs-utils, and we communicated poorly about the change. So: - I'm reverting the server patch. I'd like to reinstate it eventually, depending on how widespread the new mount code was. - We'll also make the mount workaround more robust. - Most importantly, we need to stamp out the cases where the server hits this error. --b. -- 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
