Basically, all I want is to enable 4.1 permanently on those servers that I want to use for NFSv4.1 testing. An --enable-nfs-version option for rpc.nfsd that acts together with --no-nfs-version as a convenient interface for /proc/fs/nfsd/versions would work fine too. All distro configuration scripts that I'm aware of allow you to specify optional arguments to rpc.nfsd. -- Trond Myklebust Linux NFS client maintainer NetApp Trond.Myklebust@xxxxxxxxxx www.netapp.com -- 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
