The only time rpcbind queries should be completely squashed is when the mount parameters are specified completely (transport, version, and port). Was support for SRV records ever added to either rpcbind or nfs-utils? Wouldn't that eliminate the need for portmap at least in some cases? I remember Andy working on a draft for this ages ago. -- 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
