You didn't seem to be writing a manpage for the RHEL-6 distros: "Before kernel 2.6.38, the minor version is always zero...". As far as I know, RHEL-6 is still based on 2.6.32... > By "deprecated" do you mean that you intend to remove it? I mean for instance that 'cat /proc/mounts' and friends will use the 'vers=4.1' notation. They won't ever display 'minorversion='. We may end up removing support for it some day. -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer NetApp Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx www.netapp.com ��.n��������+%������w��{.n�����{��w��� jg��� �����ݢj����G���� ���j:+v���w�m������w�������h�����٥
