So I'm thinking this the final nail in the coffin of the legacy interface
at least in rpc.nfsd. So if /proc/fs/nfsd filesystem is not or can not
be mounted then rpc.nfsd should fail... IMHO...
Maybe something like:
if (stat("/proc/fs/nfsd") < 0) {
if (system("mount /proc/fs/nfsd") < 0) {
xlog(L_ERROR, "Unable to mount /proc/fs/nfsd");
exit 0;
}
}
steved.
